This guide will take you through the Case Cost Variance report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This report is designed to provide a variance analysis of your average case cost over time. It includes archived<\/em><\/strong> matters only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When run in Summary format, each column gives the average case cost between the specified months, so for example, the column headed 0-12 months will give the average case cost for matters archived between 0 and 12 months ago. 5-17 months column will give the average case cost for matters archived between 5 and 17 months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report therefore produces a rolling average that will help to even out any discrepancies caused by particularly high cost cases. The Variance and Percentage variance columns calculate the variance and percentage variance on the two most recent 12 month periods.<\/p>\n\n\n
