इंटर-ब्रांच और इंटर-एंटिटी चार्ज रेकॉनसिलिएशन विफलता
Definition
Service centers (e.g., HR, Finance, IT shared services) provide support across multiple branches/entities. Costs must be pooled, allocated using defensible keys, invoiced monthly with IGST, and matched to recipient project costs. Manual reconciliation gaps cause unallocated costs (sitting in corporate overhead) or double-allocation (same cost charged to two projects). Month-end close delays due to manual cross-checks.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹100,000–₹500,000 per annum (unrecovered inter-entity charges); 10–15 manual hours/month reconciliation labor
- Frequency: Monthly (inter-company invoicing required); Quarterly (reconciliation audit); Year-end (consolidation adjustments)
- Root Cause: No automated inter-company invoice generation; cost pool allocations not linked to beneficiary project costs; manual month-end matching of invoices to allocations; lack of audit trail
