For HQ companies (HK, Singapore, Shanghai, Taiwan) , we started to do this for HQ Expenses in May closing so that we can distribute the HQ Expenses allocation earlier to factories before they work on the projected P&L.
For People cost, we got a more harsh time line in HQ companies this month. All submitted and finalized on May 20th. Salary pay day… For HQ Companies, Some on 15th of current month, some on 25th of current month. Those pay day before 25th, they make accrual base on the information on their hand.
For factories, we not yet start yet as we are not very sure the impact to factories. No factory committed this time line at the moment. Am trying to study the feasibility in this stage.
Reason behind the earlier time line: HQ Expenses has certain impact on the group level P&L. If we can get the HQ expenses figure earlier, management can review the expenses status earlier and take actions for control earlier.
