Title of the Project- In-depth Scrutiny of Service Invoices for Cost Reduction.
Objective
The proposed project endeavor to study that how to reduce the cost by reviewing the
Invoices
Arrive at aim to achieve the most effective way of delivering services to the required
level of quality and to give a various possible solution for cost reduction.
To signify the Importance of internal auditing in Mondelez India Foods Pvt Ltd.
To focus on the areas such as Canteen, Manpower, Bus and Laundry as a means of cost
cutting.
Background: In the present scenario, internal auditing plays a very crucial role in the success of
any organization. The project aims to show that by how reviewing an invoice can help us in
increasing productivity and saving costs. Internal auditing is a common procedure followed by
every organization and even every professional try to save cost, but the main focus generally lies
on the product, rather on services. Every brand, including Cadbury outsourced a variety of
services and spending crores of amount annually. The project hereby showcases that we can even
save by shifting our focus on invoice. I work on the four service which MDLZ outsourced
fromvarious vendors i:e Canteen, Laundry, Manpower and Bus. In canteen I saved approx
3,357816 yearly, there is many errors and frauds found in the bill of canteen and in another 3
services I proposed many areas where company can save cost.
Methodology: The data collecting for the successful completion of the project comprised of
secondary data..
The methodology which was followed to complete this project is as follows:
Pooling of the data i:e ( invoices, reports, history, contractual agreements) of various
services total number of the headcount of the month. I pool the 5 month service Invoice
of MDLZ.
Scrutinize of the collected data and compare that count which is mention in the invoice
Key Findings
Canteen- When I review the invoices of canteen in that I found many errors and frauds. The
Vendor is charging more than the maximum headcount of the employees. So this gave the approx
3,357,816 yearly saving to the company.
Laundry- When I review the invoices of laundry there is no scope found by reviewing the
invoice because vendor charges the actual rates, but in this service we proposed 3 options for
cost reduction and in that 3 options one option is suitable for the company and it gave an approx
833976 Rs savings yearly.
Bus- Same course is done with the bus we proposed 2 options and from that option number two
is accepted by the mangers. It gave a savings of Rs 124039 yearly.
Manpower- There are two types of contractual labor work in a company one who get the wage
on no. of tons worked and another is daily wage labor as per agreement .I managed to work on
the daily wage labor and gave an approx savings of Rs 1260000 yearly.
Recommendations
From the following study undertaken, it is suggested that for deriving the productivity from
service invoices, they should first and foremost need to generate the awareness in the employees
that why productivity is important for the organization.
My second recommendation would be that proper reconciliation of Invoices must be there so as
to avoid the window dressing.
My third recommendation would be that company should increase the rates of vendors. If they
will pay them a satisfied amount then they will not do such type of frauds and negligence what
they do in canteen bills.
Achievements: Certificate of appreciation and Thanks for deriving the Productivity in
canteen service.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Many organizations focus on their cost reduction efforts around the numbers. This is the reason
why cost reduction initiatives are regarded as the sole domain of the financial community. Cost
cutting is often no more than a review of the budget, the introduction of a saving against each
line item, and then monitoring actual versus planned spend. There is no problem with this
approach if it is short-term cuts that are wanted. It is easy to reduce costs by a small amount on
each line item by delaying expenditure into a future period. However, these are not real savings
and the organization loses the opportunity to review underlying business practices during
difficult economic periods that have the potential to create sustainable cost savings. Once the
pressure is off, these so called cost savings quickly come back into the budgets and
management are none the wiser. This is the tactical response to cost cutting. It can be done and it
does have benefits but these are mainly short term in nature.
On the other hand, organizations that approach their cost reduction efforts in a strategic manner
have the opportunity to significantly strengthen their competitive position from a cost
perspective rather than just survive the current economic downturn. Activity-based cost reduction
is a strategic response to cost cutting that provides sustainable benefits. This means the focus
shifts from the individual line items on the income statement or balance sheet toward the
underlying activities that drive the expenditure. Once these underlying activities are understood,
it is relatively easy to identify and prioritize improvements that will have a larger and longerterm impact on the business.
The biggest risk for any major initiative is the ability of the organization to sustain the benefits.
In a survey of 115 multinationals taken from the Financial Times Stock Exchanges top 350
companies, it was found that 70% could not sustain the benefits of their cost reduction efforts
14
beyond two years. Often this is due to the fact that the changes introduced are not continuously
re-Inforced through regular, visible reporting of the key measures that determined success in the
beginning.
The organization loses sight of those aspects that were considered essential when the program
was first introduced. This is where the internal audit function can play a significant role. The
internal audit function should be an integral part of any strategic cost reduction program because
it can ensure the redesigned business processes, activities and structures (if any) remain
responsive to the risks, and are embedded in the business methods and practices.
The value that can be achieved by the inclusion of the internal audit function is immense, as it
can support a number of strategic objectives, including the following:
1. Achieving buy-in to the cost reduction program from a broader group of stakeholders.
2. Improving visibility at management, executive and board levels by ensuring internal audit
reports include commentary on the cost cutting initiatives.
3. Identifying the risks and implications of cost reduction initiatives.
4. Providing valuable input and insight into the key processes and activities that drive certain
costs.
5. Identifying critical improvement drivers to keep the business focused on priority areas.
6. Bringing a process and control capability to the overall program.
7. Monitoring and evaluating key performance indicators on a continuous basis.
8. Developing regular reviews as part of the annual internal audit plan to support sustainability.
9. Providing an objective viewpoint on the proposed initiatives prior to, during and after the
introduction of the cost cutting program.
10. Reporting on the benefits realized by the program.
Investors and other stakeholders in public and private sector institutions are concerned with the
safety of their assets. Shareholders delegate rights to managers to act in the principals best
interest. This separation of ownership from control implies a loss of effective control by
shareholders and taxpayers over managerial decisions hence concerns over the safety of their
investment. It is therefore important that good governance and cost reduction policy practices are
adopted to achieve organizational goal of safeguarding shareholders assets and wealth
maximization. Key among the best practices is the control measures put in place to detect and
prevent frauds within the entity whether private or public.
15
Working through this approach in a meticulous way, organizations are more likely to achieve
substantial benefits over the longer term by identifying significant improvement areas

The confectionery industry of India, which was ranked 25th in the world in 2009 , has now
emerged as one of the largest and well-developed food processing sectors of the .The credit goes
to liberalization along with growing Indian economy, which have led several multinational
companies to invest in Indias confectionery market, further changing the face of this industry.
According to new research report of Indian Confectionery Market Analysis, the Indian
confectionery market is going through rapid changes in terms of trends and consumer behavior
pattern. The industry is being benefitted from the countrys economic boom, and growth in
consumer spending. This higher consumer spending is also driven by the new found mall culture
and changing lifestyle. Besides, the entry of various multinational companies in the Indian
confectionery market has not only increased the competition but also the per-capita consumption,
by launching new products at affordable prices, and creating awareness among the buyers
through advertisements and promotional campaigns. During the research, they found that
emerging trend of gifting confectionery products and untapped rural market are among the key
factors that are expected to fuel growth in Indian confectionery market in the near future. Backed
by these factors, the Indian confectionery industry has a positive outlook,According to India
Chocolate Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018,the per capita consumption of chocolates is
16
increasing in the country which will continue to flourish the market revenues. It is expected that
India chocolate industry will be growing at the CAGR 23% by volume between the years 20132018 and reach at 3,41,609 Tons. The dark chocolates are expected to account for the larger
market share when compared to milk and white chocolates in the coming years.
Apart from this Indians like to celebrate with sweets and they start relishing it at a pretty young
age. While the West may be more calorie conscious, the Indian kids start off by indulging in all
sorts of sugar boiled candies. No wonder, the confectionery industry is one of the largest and
well developed among the food processing sectors in the country.
Cadbury with Dairy milk, Perk, 5 star, Gems, Celebration, Bytes, Dairy milk clairs, and Halls
brands is a key player in chocolate.
Milk Beverages: The milk beverage industry is valued at Rupees 16.1 billion with an annual
turnover of approx 63,000 tones. As per Nielsen estimates the industry is growing at 10.1%.
Cadbury is key player in the segment with Cadbury Bourn vita and Cadbury Bourn vita 5 star
magic.
Economic growth and development has resulted in rising disposable incomes in India,
especially among the middle-class. According to research, Canadian specialist said, this
class accounts for 45% of overall confectionery consumption in the country, and more
than half of the consumed confectionery is gum.
In India, gum is seen as a luxury item, with branded products predominantly available in
urban areas. This is especially true for gum that provides fresh and minty breath, as it
portrays a professional and well-groomed image that is becoming more vital to success in
the Indian workplace.
17
Due to the soaring temperatures in India, consumers prefer gums and jellies over
chocolate, especially in the summer months. Canadian finds that sugar confectionery and
gum will outsell chocolate in volume terms: Gum is expected to see an increase of 64%
in volume consumption by 2018, compared to a growth of only 41% in chocolate
consumption. Specialists said Weather plays a vital role for sugar confectionery and gum
sales. However, when translated into value terms, the chocolate market still dominates
and is expected to surpass the US$1 billion mark in 2018.
Chocolate continues to be firm favorite with children:
Although the report shows that gum is becoming more popular among adults in India,
sweets and toffees will stay firm favorite with children and continue to be high in
demand. Kids 9 years and younger accounted for almost a quarter of sugar confectionery
and chocolate consumption in 2017. Consumers in this age group, like in any other
country, have a preference for sweet tasting products, which will be further enhanced as
they develop their tastes and preferences for certain brands and products.

chocolate. Cadbury and Schweppes merged in 1969 to from Cadbury Schweppes. Milk chocolate
for eating was first made by Cadbury in 1897 by adding Milk powder paste to the dark chocolate
recipe of cocoa mass, cocoa butter and sugar. In 1905, Cadburys stop selling brand, Cadbury
Dairy milk, was launched. By 1913 dairy milk had become Cadburysbest-selling line and in the
mid-twenties Cadburys Dairy Milk gained it status as the brand leader. Cadbury India began its
operation in 1948 by importing chocolates and then re- packing thembefore distribution in the
Indian Market. Today, Cadbury has five companies owned Manufacturing facilities at Thane,

Support from the parent company i:e Cadbury Schweppes plc. Cadbury Schweppes is the
very profitable organization, generated revenue of more than 6590 billion (2006)
Weakness
Cadbury ones main strength can be its biggest Weakness. Cadbury has done rapid line
extension in recent years. Now it is selling well over 60 different lines competitors can
take advantage of this by identifying vulnerable spots in this huge portfolio.
26
Opportunities
The company has the opportunity to expand its global operations. New market with new
products which are limited in particular region.
Cadbury has decided to focus on a few of its key brands such as Cadbury Dairy milk,
Bournvita, clairs and Halls to drive growth for the company.
Co- branding with other manufactures of food and drinks, and brand franchising to
manufacturer of other goods and services both have potential. Recent tie with Kentucky
fried chicken (KFC) for selling ultra-perk is one such example.
Cadbury India is attempting to Increase the declining market for the chocolates with
innovation, one of which is its sweet snacks, Bytes.
The Indian Market and more specifically the urban area where the penetration if
chocolate is low can be developed as a future market through availability and
affordability.
Target Urban population is 300-350 million people, while Cadbury is catering 58 million
people only thus, there is good scope to further widen its reach. This is one of the tactical
strategies, whereby CIL aim to enhance share of chocolate confectionarys market share
in impulse category from 6% to 8%.
Per person chocolate consumption is India among the least. As a market leader, how do
you plan to risethe consumption level? Company will continue to focus on affordability
and value of money, thereby raising the chocolates in daily consumption basket in India.
27
Additionally with our focus on width of distribution company hope to continue to expand
the market for chocolate.
Threats
Entry of many foreign players in Indian confectionery market, which are giving higher
margin to the retailers.
The company has the large exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk, mainly on
account of imported cocoa beans and cocoa butter in US dollar and Pound Sterling.
Storage Problem- Given India hot and humid climate, can there not be an alternative in
teams of storing and packaging? Given Indias hot and humid climate, need to be stored
in cool, dry and hygienic place away from gains and cereals. To this end company
provides retailers with storage dispensers and visi- coolers to give adequate product
protection. Additionally, every product label mentions the care instruction, store in cool,
hygienic and dry place.
1. Threats of New Entrants- Rivalry among the existing player is( high).
Many businesses are competing against Cadbury and planning to take over the
supremacy the company has for several years.
28
Companies such as Nestle, Hersheys, Ferrero etc. are Cadburys main rivals.
Rivalry will always be strong among these companies because they sell from the
same types of stores and their products are similar in some respects.
The entry of competitors will be difficult because there are already well
29
Auditing of bills and invoices are to protect the organization from various type of errors
and frauds. These errors and frauds emanate from rapid change in terms of competition
and social Complexities.
The proposed project endeavor to study that how to reduce the cost by reviewing the

There is a wealth of information available in the area of internal auditing since it is a current
topic of interest and has a propounding significance to organizations in the 21st century.

When we discussed such issues with vendor, he came out with a number of problems. Like,
people usually ask for a variety of tea including lemon tea, green tea and same goes with the
quantity and variety of breakfast they order which is not mention in the contract. Sometimes they
need fruits and sometimes heavy lunch too. This adds upto the cost and the reason why he

Here, it was a different case. Billing was not an issue as the rates were fixed for every kind of
costume or Uniform. Every employee of Mondelez gets 7 pairs in a week and 100 apron quantity
is fixed which should be compulsory kept in the organization. The uniform truck come from
Delhi 2 times in a week that is Monday and Wednesday.

The quantity of long coat willremainsame because we reduced the pair of uniform on the
assumption that when employees not wear the uniform then he wear the long coat. Or long coat
cannot be reduced because many outsiders came everyday like trainees, visitors they dont have
the pair of uniform so they wear an apron.

In these 3 proposals the option 2 is accepted when a pair of uniform is reduced by 6 in this the
truck only come 2 days in a week as it came earlier. And another 2 option there is
many problems increased so option 2 is suitable it will also give a good saving to a company.
But it will take time in implementation because of this the contract willrevise and revision
of contact kind of things is decided by the Mumbai head office. If they will approve, then only
this productivity is possible.
Revision of contract as it is mentioned in the contract that vendor will provide the fix 7
pairs of uniforms to every employee and 100 aprons for the visitors and outsiders.
Alignment with the trade unions
As the truck of uniform came 2 times in a week from Delhi so if we reduced the pair of
uniform then may be the truck want to take more trips so it will lead to extra cost in fuel
charges, taxes etc.

I worked on the daily wage labor. Reviewing their bills was a not considerable choice.There are
5 vendors who provide a labor with a headcount of a thousand. A question was than raised that
how 24 labors are being put to work in amenity, and it was found that three labors from every
vendor is employed to provide and collect the uniforms of their labors, i:e a total 15 labors per
shift are employed for this task. 2 labors from each were employed to collecting the pair of
shoes i:e total 10 labor is employed.
Option 1 Proposal
If we reduce the 10 labors who are collecting the shoes. In spite of that we provide them a locker
and hire one permanent employee who managed that locker daily then we can save a huge
amount.
The daily wage rate of the labor is 350 Rsapprox.so if 10 employees engaged daily in
amenity,then 350x10=3500 means we spend 3500 daily on these 10 employee and locker is the
one time investment if we reduce this 3500 cost per day then monthly we can save 3500x
30=105000 and yearly 105000x 12= 1260000

So, according to our analysis option 2 is suitable because the challenge which in this proposal are
easily solved but if we go for option 1 then savings will be more but problems may also increase.
So we go for option 2. Then also we save 124039 per annum.

Chapter 7: Limitations
The primary limitations of the project would be time duration of the internship program,
as it was a 14-week internship program a through and detailed analysis would not be
confidential in nature.
Lack of availability of accurate data in coolie conversion project to finance department as
Chapter 8: Findings
46
Internal Auditing play a significant role in the organization. Management is responsible for
continuous checking of the invoices of the service provider to remove the error and frauds on
behalf of the board. Companies always talks about the importance of cost minimization and
profit maximization and also invest huge amount on it but no one scrutinizes the in-depth invoice
and this will give a chance to vendor to over charge in the bill.
The main analysis or findings of this dissertation is to show that how productivity can be
generated only by reviewing the invoices. We have given various measures to reduce the cost in
the 4 services which Mondelez India takes from its vendor.
Canteen- When I review the invoices of canteen in that I found many errors and frauds. The
Vendor is charging more than the maximum headcount of the employees. So this gave the
approx. 3,357,816 yearly saving to the company.
Laundry- When I review the invoices of laundry there is no scope found by reviewing the
invoice because vendor charges the actual rates of shirts, trousers and long coat and also provide
the weekly bill to company, so there is no chance of fraud, but in this service we proposed 3
options for cost reduction and in that 3 options one option is suitable for the company and it gave
anapprox. 833976Rs savings yearly.
Bus- Same course is done with the bus we proposed 2 option and from that option number twois
accepted by the mangers. It gave a savings of Rs124039 yearly
Manpower- As one of the main limitation of this project is time duration is only 14 weeks and
there is very less time for this coolie conversion project. There are two types of contractual labor
work in a company one who get the wage on no. of tons worked and another is daily wage labor
as per agreement .I managed to work on the daily wage labor and gave anapprox. savings of Rs
1260000 yearly
47
From the following study undertaken, it is suggested that for deriving the productivity from
service invoices, they should first and foremost need to generate the awareness in the employees
that why productivity is important for the organization
My second recommendation would be that proper reconciliation of Invoices must be there so as
to avoid the window dressing.
My third recommendation would be that company should increase the rates of vendors. If they
will pay them a satisfied amount then they will not do such type of negligence what they do in
canteen bills.As vendor said that he is providing extra things which are not mentioned in the
contract this is the reason he is charging extra more than the average consumption.Paying
considerable amount to vendorgives many benefits to company first it would be less than the
amount involved in fraud and secondly the service provider will provide the service with its best
quality.
48
Cost reduction and internal auditing practices will give many benefits to company as well as to
society in future
to the society.
Workers and staff of the industry may also be benefitted through increased wages and
