PROPOSAL FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF WEB BASED EXPENSES PROGRAM
30th October 2010
Title
Would the introduction of an automated expense procedure ease the burden on the HR and payroll department?
Executive Summary – introduction into the topic significance and what the aims of the research are
Due to the current economic climate business costs are on the increase. Gardner Aerospace is looking at ways to tighten and reduce general expenditure across the business whilst improving its operational procedures. Gardner wants to do this so that the business does not have to pass increased costs on to customers through increased prices on products.
After carrying out an internal investigation at Gardner and evaluating how the business is currently performing, several potential business projects were identified. All these projects that were identified could potentially benefit the business operationally and from a cost point of view. The proposal I decided to evaluate was that of a web based expense system.
Before implementing a new expense system and changing your organisations present processes, it is important to examine ‘WHY’. The issue under investigation for this research proposal is the subject of expenses. What benefits would an automated expense system bring to our organisation? Why or how would it be beneficial? It is important to understand that this type of research needs to deliver in a clear and concise, business focused report.
In 2011, Gardner Aerospace decided to amalgamate its payroll, HR and finance services across its five UK sites, into one shared service based at Head Office in Derby. Previously, the payroll department had consisted of 5 individuals, which was condensed to two individuals in the move. Taylor and Woodhams (2013) believe there are several benefits to be gained from such a
