Cost Accounting E-Learning
Virtual cost accounting training: Cost accounting includes recording, analyzing and reporting costs to management. The purpose of this type of accounting is to gain insight into the cost structure of a business that can be used to better manage it and thus improve profitability. Cost accounting is especially useful for understanding which part of a business is profitable and which one needs improvement. This type of accounting, unlike financial accounting, is primarily intended for internal operational activities.
Cost accounting is the process of tracking, recording, and analyzing costs allocated to a company’s products or services. In modern accounting, costs are measured according to accepted accounting principles (GAAP). (GAAP) records historical events and assigns a monetary value to them. Costs are measured in the common currency. Cost accounting can be defined as a type of management accounting that converts a chain of resources (a set of events related to the production of a product) into financial amounts. Managers use cost accounting to support decisions about reducing company costs and increasing profitability.
