The shift to cloud-based access due to COVID-19 led to the need for centralized expense allocation. Chargeback & Cost Recovery plays a crucial role in managing these expenses and addressing the ongoing growth in cloud-related costs.
Chargeback & Cost Recovery aligns with OMB Circular 87 and GAAP principles, requiring double-entry accrual-based accounting. Solutions that produce general ledger reports with credit and debit for each transaction and follow accrual-based accounting comply with GAAP.
Considerations for modern chargeback & cost recovery solutions include Software-as-a-Service delivery, experience with public sector chargeback, compliance with OMB Circular 87 (GAAP), cost justification, reduction in manual processes, and reconciliation of charges from third-party providers.
Dedicated chargeback & cost recovery solutions are distinct from ITSM or ITFM solutions. Integration with ITSM or ITFM solutions capable of sharing cost data via API or flat file is important.
Chargeback & Cost Recovery cost structure is typically based on usage or the total annual chargeback & cost recovery charges.
Chargeback & Cost Recovery implementation requires defining a framework that automates the process around a service or solution catalog. Being the source of truth or integrating with another catalog source ensures effective management and control.
