Effective financial management requires clear visibility into capitalised costs across projects and portfolios. Fluid’s capitalisation reporting tools provide PMOs and finance teams with the insights needed to track, validate, and analyse capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx). These capabilities help ensure financial accuracy, compliance, and alignment with organisational investment strategies.

With real-time financial dashboards, structured summary views, and export functionalities for Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, PMOs and PMs can monitor capitalisation trends, reconcile costs, and generate reports tailored to both internal and external stakeholders. 

This guide outlines how to leverage Fluid’s reporting features to enhance capital investment management and streamline financial reporting processes.

Financial Dashboards

Fluid provides real-time financial dashboards that offer visibility into capitalised costs, supporting both project and portfolio-level financial management. These dashboards enable PMOs to:

• Analyse capitalisation trends across projects and portfolios.

• Validate capitalisation amounts by comparing forecasted and actual costs.

• Identify compliance risks or anomalies in capitalisation calculations.

When capitalisation is enabled, all financial grids will display a CapEx and OpEx breakdown, ensuring financial transparency. This allows users to track how expenses are categorised and manage capitalised investments efficiently.

Additionally, you can use the CapEx/OpEx Summary dashboard layout, which provides a structured overview of CapEx and OpEx allocations at the project level. 

This dashboard enables finance teams to review investment distribution, track financial performance, and support strategic decision-making.

Export to Excel

For deeper analysis and reconciliation, you can export capitalisation data into Excel for financial reporting purposes. This functionality enables PMOs and finance teams to:

• Perform detailed financial reviews and audits.

• Reconcile capitalised costs with external financial systems.

• Customise reports to meet internal and external reporting requirements.

To export the capitalisation report, select Financial Cap Amort Export when exporting to Excel from a Project Workspace or the Financial Dashboard. This will generate a detailed breakdown of capitalisation data, ensuring comprehensive financial tracking and audit readiness.

Exporting to Word and PowerPoint

In addition to Excel, users can generate reports in Word or PowerPoint to support executive presentations and stakeholder reporting. These exports allow finance teams to:

• Create structured capitalisation summaries for leadership teams using predefined templates.

• Present financial breakdowns of CapEx and OpEx visually in PowerPoint, making it easier to communicate financial insights to stakeholders.

• Generate formatted Word documents that standardise capitalisation reporting across the organisation.
