Cost Accounting methods that companies use are usually determined by the product that is made or the service that is rendered. 


What types of cost methods are there?
Who decides what method to use?
  • Management.

  • If you have a good company, the accounting department will have a great influence in this area.

  • If you have a great company, the upper management will want the best method and be committed to its implementation.

  • If management demands that everyone in the company support the cost system, then it's a fantastic company to work for.

I've worked at a company that supported its Cost Accounting and knew that if it the company was to be profitable, management had to know it's true costs.

The CEO made sure all departments were helping the effort.  We implemented and continually improved an activity-based system that was among the very best in the world.
