Home | Services | Financial Consulting | Cost Allocation Plans
The goal of a cost allocation plan is to ensure that an Agency maximizes the recovery of general fund indirect costs from its various enterprises and other chargeable funds. The Agency must have a method of identifying and distributing administrative costs that is comprehensive, well documented and fully defensible. A cost allocation plan coupled with comprehensive overhead rates will enable the agency to achieve this goal. A secondary benefit of a cost allocation plan is that it allows the Agency to determine the full cost of operating departments, divisions, programs and services, a critical component in developing appropriate fees for user driven services and for related policy decisions regarding subsidy of such services.
