## Slide 1: Financial & Cost Management
* Focus: Protecting margin and forecast credibility.
* Fundamental Rule: If numbers are wrong, execution is wrong.

## Slide 2: Why Financial Control Matters
* Project management responsibility, not just accounting.
* PM ownership includes: Budget, Forecast, CTC, Billing, and Collection.

## Slide 3: The Annual POC Budget
* Mandatory every October.
* Requirements: Detailed by month, based on physical progress, linked to TECW, and aligned with project plans.

## Slide 4: Planned Cost & Cost To Complete (CTC)
* Planned Cost Baseline: Silent changes are prohibited; require formal approval.
* CTC: Must be updated every 6 months and reflect real site risks.

## Slide 5: Forecast Credibility & Billing
* Forecasts must be evidence-based.
* Billing is only permitted via approved IPC or financial statements.
* Artificial progress is strictly rejected.

## Slide 6: Collection & Financial Transparency
* PMs must track and escalate collection risks.
* Prohibited: Silent cost changes, inflated progress, and late CTC updates.

## Slide 7: KPIs & Performance Management
* Use of SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound.

## Slide 8: Mandatory KPI Set
* Key Metrics: POC Sales (Percentage of Completion), UBR (Unbilled Revenue), AR (Accounts Receivable), TECW (Technically Closed Units), and PTF/PTP.

## Slide 9: Quality Management
* Quality cannot be sacrificed for progress.
* Milestones close only when work is done, approved, and documented.

## Slide 10: Safety & Risk Management
* No progress justifies unsafe work.
* Risks must be identified, owned, and mitigated.

## Slide 11: Resources & Procurement
* Resources belong to the portfolio, not individual projects.
* Local materials must be sourced through official channels.

## Slide 12: Documentation & Communication
* "If it is not documented, it did not happen."
* SharePoint is the single source of truth.

## Slide 13: Execution & Conduct Summary
* Respectful behavior is mandatory.
* Management by presence: Execution quality defines success.
