CATO Cost Management is a new module designed to record and track all monetary changes that occur for the duration of a project. It is especially suited to packaged based contracts.

The system records the likely cost of potential variations, programme changes, disruption and other related items for early consideration by the client. As the project progresses, variations of different types are recorded and the project anticipated costs and forecasts are adjusted accordingly.  At regular intervals, reports can be produced to show the current and anticipated financial out-turn. These will normally be generated on a monthly or quarterly basis depending on the Clients requirements, although alternative reporting periods are available.

The CATO Cost Management module is the natural partner to CATO Cost Planning, the output of the latter provides the baseline (initial budgets) for the former to support effective cost management and reporting post contract. CATO Cost Management offers the definitive tool for effective cost reporting and has been developed for those who need to control rather than simply monitor costs.
