Aim: The research aims at analyzing the intra-units cost charging across different countries, projects, and functions in order to establish cost charging transparency, fairness, and accountability. Furthermore, would suggest a framework seeking to ensure a smooth and consistent intra units cost charging across countries, projects and functions of a MNC. Methodology: The study was guided by a qualitative strategy with an element of action research. A total of 7 interviews were conducted with 5 people; 2 of them were interviewed twice due to the nature of the study involving action research and gaining feedback from them. Findings: The analysis revealed that there are variances in the determination of the rate used by various units of this MNC which causes a perception of unfairness and cumbersomeness in determining the costs to be charged between units. The desire to get a harmonized costs charging framework was noticed and recommendations for potential ways to arrive at that were laid out as well. Conclusion: It is essential to deal with intra-unit’s costs charging on a continuous basis as the MNC tends towards a harmonization of this process. There is a need to be flexible and adaptable to imminent changes.
