Cost Accounting & Management

The past few years have seen most companies adjust their business to ‘react’ to difficult economic conditions. In today’s business environment, organizations need insight into the cost and related profitability of their products, customers, and their different activities. Managers need accurate information into cost drivers to assess cost implications to be able to quickly take corrective actions in light of changing market circumstances. Furthermore, potential cost optimization exercises need a solid, objective basis for benchmarking to start from.
