This report is used to illustrate details of the firm’s work in progress (WIP) movement – using the opening balance, new time posted less any time billed or written off – to calculate the closing WIP balance for the selected period. The report also reflects the profitability (time value at cost against fees billed). The information may be grouped by Department or by Branch or by both. The information is provided for a selected period and the totals for the year up to, and including, that peirod are also shown. Budget figures for time are given too, together with the variance from actual WIP figures.

This KPI report is used to detail the WIP (work in progress) and ‘fees delivered’ broken down by Fee Earner and grouped by Department. The ‘chargeable’ and ‘non-chargeable’ time booked for each Fee Earner is also given. Work In Progress figures are provided in both ‘cost’ and ‘charge’ values. Budget figures are also provided with the variance from actual figures so this report may be used to check on how close to budget the separate Fee Earners are, and to compare performance of Fee Earners and Departments. The numbers of ‘current matters’ and ‘closed matters’ per month / year per Fee Earner can be seen here too. Figures for ‘private’ and ‘legal aid’ matters can be viewed separately, or combined.
