We focus a lot around here on how auditable TimeControl data is.  It’s woven into the fabric of our operations.  TimeControl started, back in its infancy in the 1980s as a system which would be used for both Payroll and Project Management.

The Project Management people were happy with cost controls which were within a few dollars or a few thousand dollars of expectations.  At the end of the year, a project report covering tens of millions of dollars of project costs that could say it was accurate within five or ten thousand dollars was completely acceptable.

That wasn’t how the Payroll people saw things.  A single penny, they explained, just one penny out of place would be enough to stop Payroll.  Employees would arrive to the Payroll department saying “I know it shouldn’t bother me, but my pay was short one cent last week and I’d like it corrected.”

So TimeControl has had that standard of data tracking since before we even started calling it TimeControl.  It’s why the product is so often deployed for government compliance reuirements such as R&D tax credits or DCAA compjliance.

We’re often asked about what we mean when we say “Accountability” so there’s a White Paper among our large library of resources to explain it feature by feature complete with TimeControl screen shots of different functions.  We’ve just updated it in the last few weeks so it’s worth a new download even if you’re read it before.
