Alberta Allowable Costs
Gain a deeper understanding of Alberta Allowable Cost fundamentals through hands-on examples of cost calculations, including operating costs, capital costs and custom processing fees. The seminar will focus on understanding AB Allowable Costs, Facility Cost Centre (FCC) set-up, Allowable Cost (AC) form submission, gathering data, and best practices in coding invoices and fees to insure that all allowable costs are accurately captured. In addition, you will also gain an understanding of how these costs are reflected on your Monthly and Annual AB Crown Invoice.
