COST MANAGEMENT & BUDGETING

INTRODUCTION

To develop knowledge and understanding of the operation and maintenance of accounting systems for the capture, measurement and reporting of cost based information. Cost accounting, a subject of management accounting or managerial accounting for planning and controlling operations and for decision making. The cost data must be accumulated, classified, interpreted, and presented in ways that are useful to managers for decision making. Similarly budget is the key to planning and controlling, involves cost accounting data. Where to set an optimal price for a product or service cannot be decided without knowing the cost of what is to be sold. Although many of the examples in this course are product-related (cost accounting being traditionally viewed as a manufacturing support system), cost accounting is prevalent in and very useful to service oriented firms. In fact, many financial service firms, like banks and insurance companies, make successful use of cost accounting to control, plan, and price their services.

Today cost accounting is much more than an inventory cost tracking system. Cost accounting involves determining the cost of products and activities, but it does have a broader role: to furnish management with information used in planning and controlling, but it does have a improving quality and efficiency, and in formulating strategic policy. To be more specific, cost accounting can help management achieve the following.

  • Formulating and implementing plans and budgets that motivate employees toward the achievement of company goals.
  • Establishing cost tracking methods that allow control of operations, cost savings, and improvements in quality.
  • Controlling inventory cost, minimizing inventory investment, and determining the cost of each product or service.
  • Pricing products and services in ways that are congruent with organizational goals.
  • Making prudent decisions that impact both short-term and long-term revenues and expenses.

State of the art cost accounting in today’s competitive global marketplace does not resemble the cost accounting systems in place two decades ago. Production automation has grown at a rapid pace, as efficient production processes have become the real economical comparative advantage of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Production technology includes the use of robotics and computers to perform the tasks executed by humans in decades past. Tracking the costs of these technologies along with their effect on overhead costs is a major challenge of today’s cost accountant.

We talk of the different types of communication like verbal, non-verbal, interpersonal and so on. We talk of developing communication skills and styles. But what is good communication in its true form? It is the exchange of not just ideas, it's an exchange of understanding. Communication is not just 'talking'; it's more about 'listening' and 'understanding'. Read on and learn to communicate! It's important.
