- Gather information on common cost allocation methodologies used across the sector
- Gather information from relevant War Child staff on context and current structures to inform feasibility of various cost allocation methodologies;
- Outline the pros and cons of each method and make a recommendation of most appropriate cost allocation methodology for War Child, given size, growth plan and organisational capacity; Present recommendation for approval by War Child Management;
- Once approved, develop the War Child Cost Allocation Policy;
- Work with War Child Finance Team to agree changes to the finance system to facilitate compliance with the Policy;
- Develop tools to support the use of the Cost Allocation Policy, including:
