Cost Accounting Survey - Plan 2012

Welcome to the 2012 Cost Accounting survey!

We encourage you to answer survey questions as completely and accurately as possible. Survey responses are used to allocate operating costs to activities, Cambia companies, and lines of business. Allocation results are then used for operating expense benchmarking and product pricing.

Based on the nature of the survey tool, it is best that you complete a survey “in full” once you open it. Once you complete a page, you will not be able to return to it. If necessary, you can restart the survey at the beginning. Links to help resources are included in the survey. Look for help icons when you need assistance. When you click on the Submit button at the end of the survey, you will have an opportunity to view and print your submission. Thanks in advance for your support of this information gathering effort.
