ABSTRACT

Call Accounting is a tool to help organizations manage and control telecommunications expenses.

A Call Accounting System works in conjunction with a busi­ ness telephone system (PBX or Key System) to track telephone calls. The resulting detailed and summarized reports provide in­ formation on the specific telephone making or receiving the call and the duration, destination and cost of the call. The informa­ tion is used to track and charge back expenses to departments and to minimize unauthorized telephone calls.
