Percentage of total finance function FTEs allocated to the process group "manage fixed asset project accounting"
This measure calculates the percentage of total finance function full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) allocated to the process group "manage fixed asset project accounting," which consists of managing accounts for large funds-invested projects, and managing and accounting for fixed asset projects (capital projects), which require significant capital investments over many years. The finance function refers to financial strategy and planning, investment management, profitability and cost management, revenue cycle, accounts payable and expense reimbursement, payroll, general accounting and reporting, fixed asset management, and internal audit. This measure is a Supplemental Information measure that helps companies evaluate additional variables not covered elsewhere for the "manage fixed-asset project accounting" process.

Key Terms
To calculate the number of full-time equivalents employed during the year for each respective process or activity, you must prorate the number of employees and the hours spent performing each process/activity. Assume that a full-time worker represents 40 hours per week. Provide the average number of full-time equivalents employed during the year for each respective process. Include full-time employees, part-time employees, and temporary workers hired during peak demand periods. Allocate only the portion of the employee's time that relates to or supports the activities identified for an applicable process. Prorate management and secretarial time by estimating the level of effort in support of each activity, by process.
For example, a part-time secretary in the finance department for XYZ, Inc. charges all of his time to finance department activities. He works 20 hours per week. The secretary splits his time evenly supporting employees working in the general accounting process and the financial reporting process. Thus, his time should be allocated by process. So, if he works throughout the year and supports these two processes, his time would be split evenly as:
20hrs/40hrs = .5FTE * 50% for general accounting = .25FTE for general accounting
20hrs/40hrs = .5FTE * 50% for financial reporting = .25FTE for financial reporting
