Basic Definitions:
1.Budget At Completion [BAC] — the sum of all budgets established for the work to be performed on a project or a work breakdown structure component or a schedule activity. The total planned value for the project. (PMBOK® Guide)*(Used By Both EVPM & Job Cost Accounting Systems)
2. Estimate At Completion [EAC] — the expected total cost of a schedule activity, a work breakdown structure (WBS) component or the project when the defined scope of work will be completed. The EAC may be calculated based on performance to date or estimated by the project team based on other factors, in which case it is often referred to as the latest revised estimate. (PMBOK® Guide)*(Used By Both EVPM & Job Cost Accounting Systems)
Note : At the project EAC = BACNote : As the project progresses the EAC ≠ the BAC

Accounting Techniques and Performance Metrics – BAC, EAC, AC & ETC
©©Supertech Project ManagementSupertech Project Management
* Accounting Systems use the Estimate At Completion [EAC] where the Actual Cost [AC] representing the Cumulative accrued value to the report Period is summed to the Estimate to Completion [ETC] for the remaining work. The Combined Value is then Compared Against the Budget At Completion [BAC] and the variance [VAC] noted.

* Advanced Accounting Systems use the Planned Value [PV] with the Actual Cost [AC] to determine the SPV the Spending Variance. This represents whether the spending rate is under or over that planned. The technique does not take earned value into account. As represented in the example an overspend trend is not recognized until the later third of the project.

Cost Variance (CV) is defined as the variance between the EV ‐ Earned Value and the AC ‐ Actual Cost. The CV determines by cost amount how much each task and project overspends or under‐spends its allocated budget.
This is interpreted as overspending.If CV <$0.00
This is interpreted as either breaking even or making a cost saving.If CV =>$0.00
CV = EV – AC (EVPM)
Schedule Variance (SV) is defined as the variance between the EV ‐ Earned Value and the PV ‐ Planed Value. The SV determines by cost amount how much each task and project is behind or ahead of the baseline (Contract) plan.
This is interpreted as behind schedule.If SV <$0.00
This is interpreted as either on schedule or ahead of schedule.If SV =>$0.00
SV = EV – PV (EVPM Only)
Spending Variance (SPV) is defined as the variance between the PV ‐ Planned Value and the AC ‐ Actual Cost and is used to determine the shortfall or surplus of funds available to the project where funding is provided strictly in accordance with the PV ‐ Planned Value.
This is interpreted as there being a shortage of funds to sustain the project.If SPV <$0.00
This is interpreted as a surplus of funds is available to meet actual/accrued costs.If SPV >$0.00
SPV = PV – AC (Accounting)
On completion of the project, the SPV = BAC ‐ EAC as the PV = BAC and the AC = EAC.
EVPM Definitions
Schedule Performance Index (SPI) ‐ is used to assess schedule performance at the project task outline level.
Cost Performance Index (CPI) ‐measures cost performance at the project task outline level.
Spending is less than the allocated budget indicating a cost saving.If CPI is > 1
Spending for the work completed is greater than the allocated budget indicating overspending.If CPI is < 1
CPI = EV/AC (EVPM Only)
Project is ahead of the scheduled baseline and will be delivered early.If SPI is > 1
Project is behind the scheduled baseline completion and will be delivered late.If SPI is < 1
SPI = EV/PV (EVPM Only)
At completion of the project the SPI is always = 1.0 as the EV = PV = BAC
Spending Rate Index (SRI) ‐ is used to assess the availability of funding to a project where funds are released in accordance with the PV ‐ Planned Value. The SRI ‐ Spending Rate Index should not be used as an alternative to theCPI to assess cost performance.
At completion of the project the SPI is always = 1.0 as the EV = PV = BAC
Spending is less than the Planned Value, sufficient funds are available to sustain the current work.If SRI is > 1
Spending is outpacing the Planned Value, indicates a shortage of funds to sustain the project.If SRI is < 1
SRI = PV/AC (Accounting Only)

EV, PV, and AC Predictive Formula Based Forecasting (Not Part Accounting Practice)
©©Supertech Project ManagementSupertech Project Management
The Independent Estimate At Completion, (IEAC) is an estimate based on attributes of past performance and how that might effect future performance. Examples include:
IEAC1 = AC + (BAC‐EV)/CPI where it is assumed the future cost performance is entirely based as that of the past.
IEAC2 = AC + (BAC‐EV)/(0.8xCPI + 0.2xSPI) where it is assumed the future cost performance will be influenced by 80% of the past cost and 20% past schedule performance.
IEAC3 = AC + 3x(BAC‐EV)/(CPI1 + CPI2 + CPI3) where the future cost performance will be influenced by that of the past three report periods.
IEAC4 = AC + (BAC‐EV)/(CPIxSPI) where the future cost performance will be influenced by past cost and schedule performance.
The Mathematical Estimate At Completion, (MEAC) is an estimate where the future cost performance is entirely dependant on the remaining budgeted cost. Formula: MEAC = AC + (BAC‐EV)
Predictive Formula To Adequacy of BAC and EAC (Not Part Accounting Practice)
©©Supertech Project ManagementSupertech Project Management
To Complete Performance Index, TCPI (BAC) determines the “Efficiency Factor” and indicates how well the project or project elements need to perform in comparison with the baseline plan from the report period to completion in order to achieve the current (BAC) Budget At Completion.
It is unlikely that the BAC ‐ Budget At Completion will be achieved during the remaining work periods to completion. Indicator of an unfavorable cost performance in the future. Performance needs to be better than planned.
If TCPI is > 1
It is likely that the BAC ‐ Budget At Completion will be achieved during the remaining work periods to completion.
If TCPI is < 1
TCPI (BAC) = (BAC‐EV)/(BAC‐AC)
To Complete Performance Index, TCPI (EAC) indicates how well the project or project elements need to perform in comparison with the baseline plan from the report period to completion in order to achieve the current (EAC) Estimate At Completion.
It is unlikely that the EAC will be achieved during the remaining work periods to completion. Indicator of an unfavorable cost performance in the future. Performance needs to be better than planned.
If TCPI is > 1
It is likely that the EAC will be achieved during the remaining work periods.If TCPI is < 1
TCPI (EAC) = (BAC‐EV)/(EAC‐AC)
Profit Versus Planned Profit, Taking Account of Revenue (Not Part of EVPM Practice)Useful Extension to EVPM that facilitates Time Phased Profit Analysis
©©Supertech Project ManagementSupertech Project Management
SP Sell Price/Revenue is generally a Multiplier of the BAC
PSP Planned Revenue is treated as PV
ESP Earned Revenue is treated as EV
At Completion both the ESP and PSP ‐ SP
At Completion:
PP Planned Profit = SP ‐ BAC
P Profit = SP ‐ EAC
ESP Earned Revenue is treated as EV
During Project Implementation:
PP Planned Profit = ESP ‐ EV
P Profit = ESP ‐ AC
Why EVPM Discipline Results In Superior Reporting, Forecasting And Project Control.
EVPM System Standard:
Supports Schedule & Cost Variances
Supports Schedule & Cost Performance Indices
All Data analysis is Time Phase.
Has extensive predictive algorithms based on historical performance.
EVPM Advanced/Extended:
Extended to Profit and Loss
Can be extended to Work and Commodity Usage Analysis
Used for Combined Cost, Work and Commodity usage KPI’s
Other:
Requires schedule and Cost resource integration.
Reporting is Both WBS, CA and OBS based.
Accounting System Standard
Limits performance analysis to Planned Value [PV], Actual Cost [AC] and the Estimate to Complete [ETC].
Excludes from the analysis Earned Value [EV] therefore limited forecasting based on AC and ETC, Excludes CPI and SPI.
Uses Spending Variance [SPV] and Spending Rate Index [SRI] as substitutes for CV and CPI
Performance measurement and reporting limited to a Control/Cost Account. Using EVPM this can be done by WBS, CA, WP or any Code Grouping.
Limited Productivity based analysis. AC/AW versus Published Averages.
Cash flow analysis does not include the rigors of EVPM.

Data Synchronization Between EVPM and Job Cost Accounting System
EVPM assumes cost and units of work incurred [Actuals] and committed [ETC] correspond to the scheduled dates.
The problems:
A time lag between the collection and confirmation of actual cost and work as recorded in a Job Cost Accounting system and the status of the project. Data can be out of sync by as much as one month or may be incomplete.
Question: Does the Job Cost Accounting System allow Entry Reversals of Estimated Actuals, and the Reposting of Actuals to the previous report period.
©©Supertech Project ManagementSupertech Project Management
Problems With Data SynchronizationEVPM reporting requires and relies on all schedule, work and cost data to be maintained and be current at the report status date. This includes actual/spent data, commitments and forecasts for future remaining work.
AC To DateAC To Date ETC To DateETC To Date
Step 2: During the next report period the accrued values are reversed out of the ledger and substituted with real time sheet and approved invoice values and the cycle is repeated. Check as some Accounting System do not allow reversals to be made to the previous report period.
©©Supertech Project ManagementSupertech Project Management
Understanding the Accrual MethodStep 1: At the report period, the actual data for cost and work is reviewed and as required Estimated Actuals injected to the job cost accounting system to cover the cost and work notinvoiced or posted. This balancing of the books is referred to as the Accrual Method.
Concerns: If real and Accrued Actuals are not taken account off, Trends and forecasts on the Estimate to Complete can be under stated. ( CV, CPI, IEAC)Adjustments are best made through Middle Ware EVPM products such as EVENGINEwhich take account of past period accrual adjustments.

Step 1. Step 1. Distributed the BAC, EAC and SP to each activity. Then if the activity is completed payment is due.
EAC = Subcontract Price
Then Certificates of Subcontractor Payments = Sum of EAC for Completed Work this period less value for last period.
SP = Main Contractor Revenue
Then Certificates of Claim = Sum of SP for this period less value for last period.

Most organizations already undertake EVPM reporting by stealth.
Most of the data is available but locked up in some vertical silos, Vertical Silos Can include: Scheduling, Estimating, Project Controls, Finance and Accounting Departments. Access may be restricted by technology, political, management structure.
Implementation of effective EVPM requires Project Management skills to be raised to an advanced level where the project management team understands:
1. Estimating 2. Planning
3. Accounting And Finance Practices4. Integration of The Three
Successful EVPM implementation requires company commitment beyond the purchase of the software,
May require significant cultural change in doing business and accountability.
Successful EVPM depends on investment in people with the appropriate project management skills.

These skills should be found in personnel with Tertiary qualifications in Project Management or are Accredited as Management Professionals through the PMI.
Alternatively, select and stream suitable technical or commercial candidates from within the organization to undertake subject specific training courses, then place on rotation within and organization to gain the practical experience.
Supertech Project Management Offers a Range of Courses.
Hire specialist consultants to establish the EVM Environment, then mentor and support the organization until sufficient staff have gained the experience and confidence to manage projects in their own right.
