The rule of thumb is widely practiced by experienced accounting professionals to provide on point financial information to Management when actual data are not readily available. Some situations require Management to use ballpark figures as basis for their swift key decisions and later on request the Accountant to refine the figures presented as soon as the actual data arrive. The deviation between the ballpark figures and actual data will assist Management adjust its course of action previously decided. Here are some situations where the rule of thumb applies:

Costing Your Project Work

(Project Costing)

Assignment of project responsibility and accomplishment of work for each element are expressed in the work breakdown structure (WBS). The construction of the detailed elements of project work are divided into manageable tasks, costed and summed up by phase to represent the total value of the final delivery or series of deliveries of the project.

Identify what drives the cost for each work package. Is it people? materials and supplies? assets? contracted services? or combination of these elements?
Identify the units required for each task. Ex.: Number of personnel, units of measure for materials and supplies, units for assets, number of work hours for service contractors?
Compute the budgeted units for each task. Budget will come from Operations and Project Management Team.
Compute the actual consumption of units for each task.
Compute and analyze the variance between the budget and actual unit consumption for each task.
Adjust the budget or units consumed based on Management approved adjustments. Simulate the project costs if necessary.
Add the budget, costs and variances, respectively, by phases and roll up the phase costs to reflect the overall cost of the project work.

Estimating Your Cost of Imported Purchases

(Cost Accounting)

Cost factors are proven handy when cost drivers are estimated correctly. Here are the tips on how to cost estimate your imported purchases closest to actual costs.

Examine the history of cost of imported item adjusted by inflation and allowance for exchange difference.
Prepare the cost template and define the cost factor for each element whether it is output based(variable), constant within a relevant range (fixed) or both (semivariable).
Fine tune your cost results:
- Purchase cost materials (variable)
- Import duties (semivariable)
- VAT for import declarations and local charges (variable)
- Insurance (semivariable)
- Freight (semivariable)
- Brokerage (semivariable)
- Custom clearance fees (semivariable)
- Bank services charges (variable) if transacted through letters of credit
- Miscellaneous expenses up to point of destination (semivariable)

Finding The Total Cost of Your New ERP System

Finding how much money is needed to finance the ERP software throughout its life cycle is a key step in measuring and understanding the total costs of investment before making a decision for integrated business process automation. The most common variables to factor in the computing TCO are the following:

Variable	Buy or Upgrade? (Add it up to compute the estimated total cost of ownership)
	Compatible server or desktop operating systems, physical servers for databases and application layers, compatible database management systems, minimum computing power of PCs and mobile computing devices, bandwidth requirements for network use
	License fees for each device or user connections to ERP system.
	One time payment for inhouse off-the-shelf system or Subscription based fees for SaaS deployments.
	Purchase cost of module (example: Payroll, Project, Landed Charges)in excess of the basic package (example: General Ledger, Bank, Supplier, Production and Vendor) provided.
	Cost of additional works (Consultants' time and out-of-pockets costs) to comply with the specific business operational process.
	Costs of monitoring, end user education, downtime, bandwidth adjustments, additional data storage requirements and other related fees to keep the ERP software up and running.

Terms to Remember:
- the overall cost of acquiring, implementing, maintaining and retiring the product.
- refers to a component or combination of hardware, software, technology, facility or rights to operate.
- Software-As-A-Service. Software is leased through subscription (example: annual or semi-annual)

Message from the Managing Partner: Tough Times Ahead

Rodel at the 30th Diabetes Annual Convention at Shangri-la Plaza on November 2013. People around the world are reeling the ill effects of CoVid19 to health and economy. Many of our countrymen are experiencing tough times to make ends meet due to retrenchments or business closures. Yet above all, the family's health is a top priority. We must remain on guard with social distancing and wearing of face mask and shields at all times to prevent the spread of CoVid19 for the safety of our families and friends we deeply care about. These safety measures save lives and easy to do. Embrace this new normal in our daily lives and believe me,this pandemic will past not too far from now.

Tough times are expected for Year 2021. This is a test of our human resolve. Do not despair as opportunites arise in the midst of pandemic threat. CoVid19 is just forcing us to think and do our stuff a different way. This can be our chance to leverage online commerce and social platforms even more. Work and make money at the comfort of our homes is cool. This new norm may change our fortune to work comfortably and share new blessings with family.

Goodluck to us all!

About Us

What We Are

We are a small-sized general professional partnership of Certified Public Accountants engaged in the practice of audit, management advisory, business applications development, bookkeeping and other allied consulting services for the small and medium scale enterprises.

We bring value to our clients. We offer a personalize level of care where our Partners are involved not only from the entrance/exit meetings but throughout the engagement activity. We strive to provide proactive advice by presenting the situation, questioning the facts, offer practical alternatives and recommend based on those alternatives.

Our Mission

Our clients deserve nothing but the best from us. Our mission is to serve our clients with the highest quality of service without compromising our professional integrity and independence.

We treat our work seriously. By providing quality and timely business information, we bring value to our clients.

We will earn our client's trust if they are consistently satisfied with our service.

Our Vision

We will have our eye on small business solutions. We will develop business applications that will integrate with other applications and become scalable across functional modules. We aim that by the end of 2021, we will have complete modules for the enterprise resource planning systems to our core of professional services.

Our Approach

We work in close consultation with our clients.   We learn as much as we can to help us understand their problems better by getting to its root cause and develop workable solutions based on our diagnosis.  We strive to consider everything in our plan before we execute our moves to reduce any incidence of surprise that come along with our engagement.   We check and recheck our work before handing out the solutions and strive our best to provide more satisfactory results to our clients without compromising the interest of the general public.

There is no panacea to all business problems.   Not all engagements are the same.   The business dynamics change for every industry, each problem must be approached in a unique way.  There may be standard answers to common business problem but the solution may be delivered in many different ways for different business organizations.   At ASCPA, we impose ourselves to deliver workable and sustainable solutions for our clients.

Our work does not stop on exit meetings with the client.

We also assist them by providing on-going education thru webcasts, podcasts, knowledge management resources, online trainings and end user support.

Our Way of Thinking

We treat the business problem as a story. It has its main points as well as auxiliary points. We really want to see the whole picture of the problem before we pay attention to its details. It helps us point our target by solving the root cause of the problem. This is why we devote so much time in planning to increase our chance of achieving our target.

The whole picture of the problem has stories to tell. Each story has several tasks. These stories will tell which tasks depend on other tasks. By knowing our tasks, we know when and how to design our work programs before we dig into details. We remove the duplicate tasks, plot them in sequence and then we process to achieve the required output. By doing this, we focus on solving the most important parts of the problem.

Our Firm History

Aldana, Sarmiento and Co., CPAs, known as ASCPA, was formally established on October 25, 2007.  ASCPA did not start its business right away.  The founding partners thought long and hard of the business challenges they might face once the company would be up and running.  Part of the initial business plan was to strengthen the Company's organizational capacity to fulfill its vision.   To put this plan into action, one of the founding partners had to study and learn the American's work environment and bring home the technology knowledge and practical experiences on January 2011.

ASCPA's business took off on February 2011.  We started with small bookkeeping, training and assurance engagements for NGOs and cooperatives.   Few months later, we were slowly representing clients on financial reporting and business tax concerns and assisting start up clients on business registrations at DTI, BIR and SEC.  On September 2012, ASCPA commenced its project audit engagements and outsourced internal audit works for the large foundation.  We developed and sold our first software, the point of sale and consignment inventory tracking application, on March 2011 for a chain of retail stores nationwide to automate the retail store operations and generate consignment inventory transaction reports.  Then the website development followed on October 2011 for the same client.  ASCPA built its major application by developing the payroll system for a multinational company on January 2015 to automate the payroll transactions, compensation tax reporting at the BIR, upload template for SAP Business One general ledger entries, and file conversion for auto debit transactions to employees' respective ATM accounts.  On June 2015, ASCPA commenced its internal project on module developments for ASCEND ERP Systems which we aim to integrate and finish by December 2018.

We officially changed our company name from Aldana, Sarmiento and Co., CPAs to Aldana, Sarmiento and Company, Certified Public Accountants and Consultants on February 21, 2012 at the Securities and Exchange Commission. We want our company name to reflect our goals for the immediate future - as both accounting service and business solutions provider for the small and medium scale businesses.

We view our future positively.   If we consistently focus our business actions on achieving our vision, we have a chance to sell our suite of business applications as early as December 2018.

Our Partners

We're a lean and flat company so everyone has important roles to fill in. We're a team of less than five hardworking people from different professional backgrounds with one goal in mind - to satisfy our customers through quality work. More time and effort are needed to maintain customer satisfaction on a consistent basis.

We must setup the tone to our staff employees. We roll up our sleeves and get down to work right away. We come prepared and strive to learn as much as we can from one another especially from our clients and peers. We reinforce our knowledge and skills by challenging each other's ideas so we get the best practical solution for every business concern that come our way. This is how things are done and will always be done in ASCPA from the Partners to their support staff.

"Have faith in your great work. Success is bound to happen if you believe it can happen."

Q. What are your biggest priorities for ASCPA?

I have three most important priorities to address:

Find and develop the right talents for our ERP development project. They have to mesh our core values to improve team chemistry..
Develop the knowledgebase for search and retrieval of organizational data for internal use and integration with ERP small business applications.
Increase seed funding to support our manpower requirements for software development and IT infrastructures.

Q. Why is it important that you address those priorities?

To increase our chances of achieving the ASCPA's vision in 2018.

Q. Why pursue on development of business applications for ASCPA?

Business process automation for faster service delivery, improved quality and increasing the bottomline.

Q. What is the goal of your business proposition?

Most small and medium scale enterprises have limited resources to spend on technologies that will help them on these areas. Leveraging on performance of existing functionalities of off-the-shelf small business applications will become limited as their business grows and organizational processes become more complex. We believe there is potential market for this gap. Approximately 65% of the businesses in the Philippines are small and medium scale enterprises. Scaling up their IT needs by combining proprietary and open-source systems will maximize their IT resource utilization without investing much on new technologies.

By bundling our accounting services with business applications, we can offer more value to our services. Our knowledge, skills and experience in accounting, consulting and ERP technology will be more beneficial to small businesses. This is what we want in the immediate future.

Q. What drew your interest to ERP technology?

I forced myself to learn ERP while doing my new jobs in 2005 as Manager in Accounting and Finance and as core member of the ERP project implementation team. It was very frustrating that our ERP Consultants failed to guide the project management team who had no experience in ERP project management. What made it harder for me was all the erroneous activities from Logistics, Production, Customer Service, Credit and Collection and Treasury spilled over to General Ledger. I had to figure out the inner workings of this ERP software to understand how the accounting entries were posted and affected the general ledgers and financial statements. This painful experience drew my interest to learn more about programs and databases. My practical experience in business analysis supported my ERP knowledge and skills especially on programming, database, networking, data analysis, business intelligence and information security.

Q. What valuable advice can you give to our aspiring developers and accountants?

Believe in your great work. You cannot push the envelope unless you have confidence at what you do. At times there will be people or circumstances that will put you down and you must endure the unrelenting challenges or perhaps unbearable embarrassment that comes along with your work. Stay on course. Believe your work will succeed along the way.
