Cost accounting: the lifeline of the enterprise, do you understand
In the business world, every decision is backed by a string of numbers. Whether it be pricing, expanding or deciding whether to cut off a product line, an enterprise manager needs a precise “navigator”. This navigator is costing. It is much more than a digital game for the accountancy sector, but a central engine for determining business gains and losses and driving strategic decision-making。
1. Pulling out the fog: what is the costing
In short, cost accounting is the process of integrating, allocating and calculating costs incurred in the course of the enterprise's production operations. Its goal is to find answers to three core issues:
How much did it cost? Where did it go? (cost allocation) what exactly is the cost of each product/service? (costed)
It is like a full-scale ct scan for the operation of the enterprise, which makes visible hidden waste, inefficient links and profitable products. Without accurate cost accounting, the business is like a traveler in fog, and all profits may be just luck while losses come from nowhere。
Ii. More than finance: four cornerstones of cost accounting for precision pricing of core values: product cost is the bottom line of pricing. Without knowing the real costs, pricing is either too high to lose market competitiveness or too low to “sold more, the worse”. Microscope for profit analysis: it provides a clear picture of the real profitability of each product, every customer, every region, and helps enterprises focus their resources on the business of making real money. Cost-control commands: discretionary process optimization, process improvement and cost control by accounting for cost overruns. The navigator for strategic decision-making: homemade or outsourced? Expanding product line a or developing new product b? These major decisions must be based on accurate cost analysis. Iii. The pains of traditional cost accounting: the times are moving forward and methods are lagging behind
Many enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (smes), continue to apply a broad cost-accounting approach:
In today's days of market competition in seconds, this information of delayed and distorted costs is placing huge hidden costs on enterprises。
