  1. cost control

    Cost accounting is defined as "a systematic set of procedures for recording and reporting measurements of the cost of manufacturing goods and performing services in the aggregate and in detail. It includes methods for recognizing, classifying, allocating, aggregating and reporting such costs and comparing them with standard costs."

Cost accounting provides the detailed cost information that management needs to control current operations and plan for the future.Cost accounting information is also commonly used in financial accounting, but its primary function is for use by managers to facilitate their decision-making.
