I started my business with CUMI by rendering engineering service to Thiruvottiyur factory alone and
now extended my services across other locations of CUMI like SPR, MMN, SR, UTK and HSR. I enjoy
more than 30 years of fruitful bonding with CUMI.
I feel really honoured to pen about CUMI’s most value addition and ever revolving department
CUMI SHARED SERVICE (CSS). To start with on behalf of all the vendors I like to thank CUMI Management
for coming-up with such a unique concept of CSS, this has made our life smooth and hassle free.
Payments are the life line for any business and for us after CSS taking up the payments activity, our
follow-up for payments has gradually come down. Earlier payments were made via Cheque. There was
more time and effort wasted in getting payments from the concerned persons and moreover we need
to constantly remind them for getting payments. Now with CSS have formulated a wonderful structure
to process all vendor payments via RTGS. We could clearly see improved effort in the way of our
payments getting processed. Due to which all payments are released on its due dates without any delay
and if there was any issue the same was reported to us on time and things were sorted out
immediately. Our reputation with our parties and bankers has gone sky-high because we were able to
honour our commitments with them.
With the introduction of online platform we could able to check our bills online itself and our queries
are addressed time and then without any delay. They have evolved as a single point of contact for
vendors like us so our time spent on follow up has drastically come down. By frequent interaction and
closely working with CSS we have got up with their best practises like paperless office and systematic
approaches. We could successfully implement these in our work place.
Working with this young department like CSS has given us more morale booster for our business for our
business and finally I take this opportunity to thank the staff and management of CUMI and CSS
department for rendering a priceless work and like to wish them all a grant success in the business.

We are associated with your esteemed organization CUMI for past two decades.
Normally we used to get the payment for our bills towards supply of moulds in 70 days which is a
normal practice from other customers also. However for small industry like ours it was a long waiting
period. When we approached the accounts as well the CSS team, they had come out with an idea of
introducing the Hundi payment concept and asked to us to join in this new scheme with HSBC. This has
resulted in a win-win situation to both of us, whereby we are able to get our bills settled within 10
days. Because of the above system we are able to manage our business well and serve our customers
better.
And also whenever we approach CSS for any query they are so receptive and are always supportive.
Thanks to CUMI – Accounts and CSS team.

I could proudly say that CSS is my 1 st job. When I joined here
I had lots of challenges to align myself with assignments that were
entrusted to me. I had to undergo tough test to build my trait were I
was weak. Initially I was into AP processing team and I got trained in the Accounts Receivable
and now I am currently working in Payments and supporting AR team during the month end.
Apart from the above I am involved in the making of some crucial fiscal report to the top management
and along with that I gained knowledge in Vendor and customer master.
The initial period of working with wonderful senior colleagues in the industry has brought
tremendous changes in my attitude and work culture. Working with those highly talented
heads, has given me a passion to stride forward albeit all those personal obstacles.
As a next level of job orientation, I was entrusted with the responsibility of visiting various
factories to conduct the inventory verification and also visit MMTCL and Wendt India for intercompany
reconciliation. Both these opportunities have paved way for direct interaction with
the counter- parts of those factories and companies. This natural progression has enhanced my
personality and confidence.
Yes the magic happened, without me realizing it, I was going through a transition from an
ordinary teen from Royapuram to a highly civilized youth working for a corporate.
Now I can say with confidence that I can work in any process that I’m put in. I could achieve all
these only because of my department members and seniors who supported and guided me
through. I can proudly say that all those transformations in me are only because of my
managers’ vision and their trust. It has changed myself into a matured person as now I am.
I take this wonderful opportunity to thank all those kind hearted persons, my teammates,
seniors and Managers and would like to assure that I will delivery my best for the growth of the
prestigious organization CUMI.

work with people
It’s been 23 months of amazing experience in one of the finest
companies which values every resource and talent with a human touch.
These 23 months has had a profound impact on understanding and
enhancing the belief in me to steer forward with a positive mind-set by
way of showing the right path that would do all that is required to reach
the ultimate destination- SUCCESS.
CSS in particular has been great to me as I’ve had an opportunity to
possessing phenomenal talents and skill that has groomed me in the
sense that I see a change in me from the time I stepped in to CSS and now at the time of exit. All
the members in this
take up and instilled
department made me feel that I can attain success in whatever field I
confidence in me.
Right from the General Managers to the senior managers the team members who had
showered lots of love, made me feel like being at home. They guided me through my thick and
thin. I had no expectations whatsoever before joining here but now let me tell you I carry loads.
Learning has always been phenomenal out here and I feel proud being a part of CUMI.
A balanced mix of experienced people and fresher's has given me lots of inputs which would be
very useful for years to come as these inputs will be utilized for bettering me on professional
grounds.
The best thing about this organization is that it leaves no stone unturned may it be sports,
music and cultural festival without affecting the actual business. I got an opportunity to play
violin in the CUFEST 2014, play cricket representing CUMI in the Murugappa tournament in 2015
and 2016.
By and large, CUMI (CSS in particular) has made a turnaround in my life and I feel proud for
being a part of it. I’m confident that I would reach greater heights and succeed in my future
endeavors. I have to leave CUMI only to pursue my professional degree. CUMI will continue to
be the most preferred employer for me even after my profession qualifications. Whatever be
the heights that I reach the first step in the path to success is certainly my tenure of
employment out here in CUMI SHARED SERVICE.

Communication is one of the keys, an organization
needs to unlock the true potential of the talent pool
within. One of the medium to keep this key accessible to
employees is presenting the information in a well
compiled format and that's an in-house magazine.
CSS releases this 5 th yearly magazine and is in a row
without break. Any corporate or an institution has always
resorted to publish “HOUSE MAGAZINES” at frequent
intervals to showcase, all walks of their journey. Not far
from, CSS has been simulating a similar approach.
Members in the other departments are usually
interested in knowing about the CSS employees’ role and
its activities. This magazine, is certain to fulfil this need.
The magazine release keeps employees connected and
gives an opportunity for people to get known. Here we
bring public, our strength, achievements, successes
touching the past present & future and showcase the
employee rewards & recognition, publish the events along
with photographs which establishes a bond.
Adopting this style of yearly magazine release has
not only given us an opportunity to make others know
about us, but also we ourselves enjoy and rejuvenate to
move on further efficiently. We always cherish the
moment of every small successes that had adorned us in
the past when we revisit the magazine. We believe that
this will drive us apt in all our future actions.
Most of the employee surveys, consistently resulted with a
feedback that 85% indicated that they wanted the magazine to be
published in print (they specifically did not want an online only version),
90% felt that showcasing employees and their achievements in the
magazine was the most critical purpose of the magazine.

Challenges 2015—16
A perpetual inventory system is an approach where inventory accounting is updated continuously as
transactions are made. It ensures the book inventory is usually matches the real inventory. Perpetual inventory
provides a highly detailed view of changes in inventory and allows real-time reporting of the amount of
inventory in stock, hence, accurately reflecting the level of goods on hand. In CUMI in most of units we have
periodical inventory verification system only. By implementing the perpetual inventory verification system we
can ensure the real time inventory recording.
Value addition:
Verification completed by Synchronized with unit
finance and stores.
Covered all 4 businesses and 26 factories across
India.
Covered all 4 segments of inventories
Discrepancy, if any can be highlighted then & there.
Shelf life products has come to light.
Status shared periodically with CFO
The final result has been shared with auditors.
Presentation made in the audit committee by
CFO.
Created opportunities to take action on
obsolete inventories.
Up to financial year 2013-14, CSS released the FA registers from RVW under the old companies Act
charging depreciation under percentage basis. In the financial year 2014-15 CUMI switched over to charging of
depreciation on the basis of useful life of the asset, under the new Companies Act. CSS managed to release the FA
registers for all the four quarters of 2014-15 compiling them in Excel.
Through this project the entire activity of completion of FA register under new companies act will be
shifted from excel to RVW. This activity will be carried out with system department support as it involves changes
in system processes in RVW which were prevailing under the old method of FA processing.
Withdrawal of Provident Fund may attract Income Tax. The Income Tax Department recently told EPFO
(Employees Provident Fund Organization) to deduct Tax (TDS) from the withdrawal amount, if the withdrawal happened
before completing five years of subscription. Tax officials have cited a rule in the 1961 Income-Tax Act that
taxes PF withdrawals by employees before completing five years of contributions into the EPF is taxable.
Considering the volume of ‘withdrawals’ from CUMI PF trust which is high in volume, to comply the above
the changes in the PF act, CSS has to strengthen the internal controls and also need to arrive the methodology of
processing such withdrawals and to meet statutory obligations.

Any person employed directly or through a contractor in an establishment or in connection with the work
of the establishment would also be termed as the ‘employee’ of that particular establishment as per Section 2(f)
of the EPF & MP Act, 1952.
It is needless to reiterate that all the above contract employees would need to be enrolled under the PF
Code Number of the establishment. In case if such contract employees are enrolled under a separate PF code No.
of the contractor, it is the principal employer’s duty to ensure that contributions at the prescribed rates are
deducted and remitted by the contractor in respect of the said contract employees failing which, being the
principal employer, the establishment will held liable for the payment of such contributions also.
As a principal employee when we verified the contractors documents during the last year audit (by PF
commissioner), practically we found lots of shortfalls in the compliance. To avoid such occurrences and show
cause notices from the statutory body, it is decided that CSS will work along with unit HR to ensure 100%
compliances in this area through this project.
For the FY 2014-15 employee costs on net sales was 11% and a structured review mechanism is needed
to have a better control over the employee welfare spend as well as to understand the salary spend.
The employee cost analysis was given priority and few analytical reports were released during FY 2014-15
in line with GL posting. These reports covered, unit-wise, category, department-wise headcount and its cost. This
is first of its kind so far attempted. This has given an idea about the cost movement.
As a next step, CSS will try to achieve a report to give focus on the manpower attrition, new recruitment
and its cost movement finally tallies with employee cost shown in the clause 49 report submitted to board of
directors.
To meet the audit requirements smoothly and complete the Quarterly limited review / Year end audit
finalization in a timely manner, it was decided to list out all the activities done and reports submitted to auditors
during the year end finalization for FY 2014-15 from various communications received from & sent to auditors/
corporate. All those activities are arranged in sequential manner. Maker checker concept will be introduced and
all the reports will be prepared on a monthly basis. And also we are planning to post those reports/schedules in
the intra net in timely manner to enable the corporate finance team access easily. Nearly 60 reports are available
in the site covering AP, AR, FA and Payroll.

Objective: It has been proved that the “Work flow mechanism’ is the right tool for monitoring & controlling the
approval process effectively. The statutory payment like ESI, PF, TDS, VAT, ST, ED etc. requires authenticated data
inputs from the users, approval by the heads and timely remittance to government. Currently all the exercise are
manually done exercising manual control. Though precaution is taken this practice may be prone to slip-ups. Hence
to ensure 100% compliance the introduction of work flow system in this areas would bring enormous controls.
Team: Ayyappan (L) – Kumar, Sai Krishnan, Valliappan, Gowri and Sirajudeen.
Objective: CSS has wide experience over the years on various accounting process for the businesses of CUMI as
well as two subsidiaries, SEDCO and Net Access India limited. With this strength it was decided to bring in more
subsidiaries and JV in to CSS fold. Hence we took, MMTCL – Accounts Payable activity as one KRA for FY 2015-16.
But due to their ERP version up-gradation in the last year we could not execute the project as we expected. Now
the up-gradation process was over and they are willing to transfer the activities to CSS. Hence this has been
considered as one of our KRA project for 16-17.
Team: Chandramouli (L) – Ashokumar, Sundaresan and Ravi
Objective: It is necessary to introduce internal control monitoring system in order to evaluate and improve the
effectiveness of governance, risk management and control processes. This project will set defined process testing
methodology from beginning to end of the cycle of transaction. The result that would be arrived through the
deployment of audit tool would be shared to the concerned departments. The areas that would be mainly focused
are: 1. Order to Cash (OTC): 2. Procure to Pay (PTP) and 3. Fixed assets (FA)
Team: Chandramouli (L) – Ashokumar, Sundaresan and Ayyappan.

Objective: Currently we receive the request towards the enhancement of fund amount created for CAPEX, or
for extension of project “end date” through manual approval process. This may lead to time delay or possible
deviation against Delegation of Authorities (DOA). To avoid this situation, work flow concept would be an ideal
solution, so that it flows to the necessary hierarchy for approval and historical records are traceable for audit
purpose.
Team: Ashokumar (L) – Sundaresan and Shubbramanian
Objective: To introduce a work flow mechanism in the area of capitalization of assets. This work flow would
address end to end process. Once the details of capitalization are finalized based on the input received from SBU
accounts, CSS would complete all the requirement in the FA module for capitalization. At this stage the work flow
will be flown to corporate finance for checking the useful life, componentization and tax depreciation rate. This will
be reverted to CSS for authorizing the entry.
Team: Ashokumar (L) – Sundaresan, Anjali Sharma and Vinoth
Objective: Currently we have two types’ transactions in Account Payable process. One is, order based. And the
other Non-order based. Under non-order based we have Direct Expenses Invoices (DEI) which are routed through the
vendor codes. In the Order based bill booking we have lots of advantages and controls since they are covered by
purchase policies, DOA on approvals etc. As well at any point of time we can draw reports on pending order quantity,
value of business done for each vendor, Auto creation of Order Based Invoices (OBI) etc. which is not available in the
Non-order based category. Our idea is to bring availability of order for all existing DEI type transactions.
Team: Ashokumar (L) – Raja Mukherjee, Sundaresan, Ravi, Arun and Vasanthal
Objective: There is a requirement to make certain payment through sundry payment routes since they are neither
covered by order nor routed through DEI process. Our objective here is to bring these category of payments, first
under DEI method to route through vendor code by this project. Once this is introduced we will have majority of the
payments routed through vendor code concept which will have better control on the expenses, facilitate vendor wise
analysis, control on tax recovery etc.
Team: Ashokumar (L) – Raja Mukherjee, Sundaresan, Ravi, Kavitha and Bilal

Objective: Currently CUMI HR/IT has created a facility called “Attendance Recording System (ARS)” for all
employees. It is mandatory for every employee to face the reader when they come IN & leave the factory premises.
This facility for Non-management staff (in most of the units) has been connected with ERP. But for Management
staff, CSS presently gets the information every month from various units / corporate manually. The delay in getting
the inputs may result in delay in salary processing and payment. And also there are possibilities of error and even
opportunities for misrepresentation. Hence by way of creating a linkage between the attendance recorder and the
payroll ERP, we can quicken the process and avoid the errors 100%
Team: Ayyappan (L) – Gunasekaren K, Valliappan and Sai Krishnan
Objective: Currently CSS is involved in various activities and responsible for processing of AR-AP-FA-Payments-
Payroll-PF-Vendor Management etc. Every activity is involved with many sub activities from Macro to Micro.
Irrespective of the magnitude, each activity is vital to be performed diligently to get the effective result in ERP.
Hence it is essential to capture these activities in the form of a process flow with the existing controls and possible
areas to introduce new controls in order to strengthen the processes. We will adopt to capture the current process
in detail using the procedural flow chart principles. These flow charts will be used as ready reckoner for any future
reference.
Team: Chandramouli (L) – Ayyappan, Ashokumar and Sundaresan
Objective: Payroll reconciliation is an important activity to ensure the accuracy of the transaction posted. There
are two parts of reconciliation planned during 2016-17. One reconciliation between current month Vs. previous
month. This will be done category wise & individual-wise. At the end of the reconciliation, reason for the variance
also provided against major variance if any. Second the reconciliation between Payroll posting Vs. General ledger
posting.
Team: Ayyappan (L) – Gunasekaren K, Valliappan, Rajeshwari, Kumar and Sai Krishnan

Objective: Perpetual inventory system is an approach where inventory accounting is updated continuously as
transactions are made. It ensures that the book inventory usually matches with the real inventory. Perpetual
inventory provides a highly detailed view of changes in inventory and allows real-time reporting of the amount of
inventory in stock, hence, accurately reflecting the level of goods on hand. We have introduced this system in the
FY 2014-15 and continued in 2015-16 also. The result and the findings have been shared with the management
and respective businesses. Due to this constant effort in the last two years, we could see an improvement in the
inventory recording system. Hence it is decided to continue the effort in nexus with unit finance department.
Team: Chandramouli (L) – Ayyappan, Ashokumar and Sundaresan
Objective: We have currently 26 locations which are coming under the FA RVW module. During 2015-16, one
of our subsidiary company CRIL has become one of the CUMI entities. Till last year it was maintained in the excel
form by location themselves. This year we have to bring under the responsibility of CSS and implement the same
in RVW. For this we have study the current FAR and co-ordinate with IT and Unit in transforming the same in
RVW. For the purpose all initial parameters and masters to be set-up in RVW to create the facility.
Team: Ashokumar (L) – Sundaresan and Shubbramanian
Objective: In ICR, we introduced a system of reconciling the intercompany transactions of all the CUMI
subsidiaries and JV’s & & Related party transactions since 2014-15. In these two years we have introduced
improved methodologies and also created awareness across the businesses. Since it has become a key
requirement from auditor’s point of view this is the right time to reach the next level of discipline. Hence our
objective is to introduce monthly reconciliation, review mechanism by visiting domestic subsidiaries, frequent
exchange of information with foreign entities to reach ultimate goal of releasing the timely and quality report on
ICR and Related Party transactions.
Team: Chandramouli (L) – Ayyappan, Ashokumar, Arun and Pradeep Francis

Objective: As a first step two years back to monitor all MSME transactions closely and made the payment
within the period of 45 days in line with the act. To achieve this we create facility in the Omni flow and introduced
various report. Due to constant monitoring these transaction by a team of members there was no deviation found
during last two years of audit finalization. This year our plan is to reach the next level. The team along with the
correct target of making the payment within 45 days, they stared collecting the MSME certificate from the
vendors to ensure the validity. And also the team will introduce controls in the vendor master for all the MSME
vendors to throw auto mails on the completion of validity period.
Team: Ayyappan (L) – Saravanan, Ravi, Gowri and Vasanthal
Objective: Capturing the PAN for all the stakeholders is becoming an order of the day. Already we have made it
mandatory and created a system to capture the PAN for all the service vendors. While we reviewed the PAN in the
vendor master we came to know that 50% PAN belongs to individuals but the transactions are in the name of a
firm. For those cases, through this project we will collect
1. VAT, TIN and ST proof. If not, 2. ESI and PF proof 3. No of years of association with CUMI. 4. Find out the
reliability through their financials & transactions. And 5. Personal visit -> to understand the reality & reliability of
the vendor.
Team: Chandramouli (L) – Ayyappan, Saravanan, Manivannan and Sundaresan
Objective: We have completed Customer receipts process for Non Abrasives (domestic) and for all CUMI
customers’ exports in the First Phase. As a Second Phase the Receipt consolidation process for East & West Region
of Abrasives Division were completed. To cover the 100% Receipting process for CUMI, as a third and final Phase,
this year we will be concentrating on North & South Region consisting of 9 Branches. With this initiative CSS will
get a total control over the customer receipting process in both Domestic and Exports.
Team: Ayyappan (L) - S Sundaresan, V Sankarprasath and S. Srinivas.

A Team member
at CSS called Vijay P, who created a website www.equalbrain.in to serve the under
privileged student. He started this service as his “Dream Project” without expecting
any benefit out of it. Another fact to note here is that he himself has created the
site using his acquired IT knowledge.
Our Slogan: Choose Chase Cherish
Mission & Vision:
We have committed to make rural aspirants future brighter and ensure equal opportunity for
all.
We are going to make the learning easiest through various online classes,
We will vow to demolish the notion that, opportunity to participate and win competitive exams
is available only for the high society students
Few highlights about the site:
Equal Brain is a Layman’s Platform mainly created for the purpose of creating the awareness among the
under privileged students in the rural areas, to start with supporting data on few competitive
exams. It’s a free website where in you will get entire notes with respect to the competitive exams,
and it’s a nonprofit organization started recently for doing this service.
Updates:
Till date there are more than 10000 followers.
Started the page recently in twitter.
There are 6300+ followers in FACE BOOK
Planning to start the free online classes within 2 months.
Activities done so far:
Own notes prepared and sent to those who were asking for hard copies. So far hard copy of
hand written notes have been sent to 110 people and all of them are from outside Chennai. Photostat
& courier charges alone collected from them and there is no hidden charges. Requested to
deposit the money in the bank account only after receiving the hardcopy.

In CSS, most of the young members are MBA degree holders and they are vibrant by nature. Though they are open
minded and willing to get into new areas and deliver the result at an amazing speed, there are some limitations to
their openness. Generally they are hesitant to express their views in the structured meetings or common forums,
despite they are aware better solutions. One of the reasons for their nervousness is fear of communicating in English.
It is prudent that those who knows English is able to be more efficient in his job and no doubt the effective
English speaking ability will enhance the Lifestyle. Hence we were looking for an opportunity to organize an indepth
training program to bring them out of their shell and also create an avenue for them to express and exchange
conversations freely in English.
To remove the obstacle we had a detailed discussion with Corporate HR to organize a suitable program for nearly 25
members at CSS.
TO start with we have been doing the following activities for the last 8 months:
Everyone should talk only in English on the work floor.
One member to narrate a main news of the day in English ( daily 5 minutes)
Word for the day to be written on the board (meaning of the word, 2 example usage in sentences, antonym)
Group activities
We could see a visible improvement from each one of the members.
We would proud to say, CSS continuously doing their service in the 7 th year in a row to poor children in
the government high school. Atthipattu. This year has become a “Start studded year” for CSS. Mr. Ananthaseshan
has agreed and participated in the function. He distributed the “5 years question bank’ to
all the 45 students in the 10 th Standard student who is going to appear in the school final examination.
He made a very impressive speech in the midst of the students and teachers.
We made them understand how education is key to successful life. How it is helpful for smooth drive
to the greatness and helps drive away the ignorance from our mind? How it leads to the path of prosperity.
How it makes a person stand up on their toes and fight with all their foes. Overall it has become
a soul touching experience for us.
Mr. Ananthaseshan, planted trees in the premises of the school.

Skilling the staff is good for the department and good for our workforce:
In an ever changing and fast paced corporate world, training and development is an indispensable function. CSS use
this opportunity to allow our employees to acquire new skills, sharpen existing ones, perform better, increase
productivity and be better leaders. We are keen on producing targeted and tangible results for our department
through a tailor made programs suits to our requirements.

the best efforts of our team members. This program will certainly assist our team members in the execution excellence
in several of projects which we have undertaken in the FY 2016-17.
Few learnings which was highlighted by our members, are as follows:
Importance of defined plan and execution
Understand the quality of the team members and make use of them on their strength.
How the team should understand and work in such a way to see the other members also to succeed in their projects.
Positive approach on facing challenges in the new areas, instead of saying no at first site.
Using the experience finding the smart way out for best possible results.
Support the new entrants in order to settle-down and carry out targets easily

CUMI’s Centre for Skill Development (CCSD)
A great “Social reform”.
CUMI is endeavored to make an impact in the lives of people who deserve it the most under the areas
of Health, Education and Environment. Under the focus of education, CUMI has specifically targeted
the aspect of Skill Development and in 2012 set up CUMI’s Centre for Skill Development (CCSD) at
Hosur.
The objectives include uplifting the economically downtrodden students by enhancing their employability.
As part of the curriculum the CCSD management team is organizing an interactive session
with the students using CUMI resources on every first Saturday of each month.
It was a great opportunity given for us to conduct a session with the young, energetic & vibrant students.
The level of participation and the keenness shown by the student during the entire session, it
was evident that the amount valuable time and guidance of CCSD management team that has got
into, from the selection to upbringing them to higher levels. Really our management has given a life
to a deprived section of people who otherwise would have only dreamt for such happenings in their
life.
