What is Cost Accounting?
Answers:
Answer #1
This can be described as the process of accumulating, measuring, analyzing, interpreting and reporting cost information that is both useful and relevant to the internal and external stakeholders of a business entity. External stakeholders are those who have a vested financial interest in a business or company. For example banks (loans), financial houses (mortgages), investors (investments), etc. Internal stakeholders are the business or company directors, managers, division heads, etc.
One of the many benefits of cost accounting is that it turns data into information, knowledge and wisdom about a business entity’s operations that is useful for:
► measuring performance
► reducing or managing costs
► determining the fees or prices for goods and services
► deciding to authorize, modify or discontinue a program or activity
