	Science Fair Projects - Project accounting
		Project accounting is the practice of creating financial reports specifically designed to track the financial progress of projects, which can then be used by managers to aid project management.
		Standard accounting is primarily aimed at monitoring financial progress of organizational elements (geographical or functional departments, divisions and the enterprise as a whole) over defined time periods (typically weeks, months, quarters and years).
		Projects differ in that they frequently cross-organizational boundaries, may last for a anything from a few days or weeks to a number of years, during which time budgets may also be revised many times.

	Project Management for Construction: Cost Control, Monitoring and Accounting
		The problems of project control are aptly summed up in an old definition of a project as "any collection of vaguely related activities that are ninety percent complete, over budget and late." [1] The task of project control systems is to give a fair indication of the existence and the extent of such problems.
		Project managers also are involved with assessment of the overall status of the project, including the status of activities, financing, payments and receipts.
		In Figure 12-2, the project was ahead of the original schedule for a period including point A, but is now late at point B by an amount equal to the horizontal distance between the planned progress and the actual progress observed to date.

	Creative Project Accounting
		Project accounting is one of the least exciting parts of project management.
		In a nutshell, the estimates were in their estimating package, the plan was in Project (sometimes), the time spent was in a worksheet package, and the capitol expenditure was in their accounting system.
		If the people have time to spend on the project it either indicates they have too much free time on their hands, or other work is not being done.

		Often, the Project Request will be for "estimate only", meaning that the project is funded for an amount to cover the costs of estimate only ($500 minimum).
		If the Project Manager sees that an estimate cost will significantly exceed the funded amount - usually due to Preliminary Design being necessary to provide the estimate - he or she will contact the client to request additional authorization.
		The project cost and schedule estimate will typically be accompanied by a Facilities Project Increase Request, which is an authorization for the additional funds estimated as necessary to complete the Project.

	Capital Project Accounting
		Since expenditures in capital projects are generally made prior to the time that grant revenues or bond proceeds are received, it could be expected that the projects' operations would result in a deficit fund balance.
		At the completion of the project, unused bond proceeds may be reallocated pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 44, §20.
		This record should include a description of the project, authorization date, completion date, authorized cost, and full details relating to the financing of the project and its actual cost.

	Hollywood accounting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In accountancy, Hollywood accounting is the practice of distributing the profit earned by a large project to corporate entities which, though distinct from the one responsible for the project itself, are typically owned by the same people.
		Hollywood accounting gets its name from the frequency with which it is alleged to be practiced in the entertainment industry — that is, in the movie studios of Hollywood.
		As with construction accounting, salient issues are the accurate allocation of workers' time to specific projects (usually requiring each worker to fill out a weekly timesheet), and the correct assessment of indirect costs such as employee benefits.
