Cost accounting is the process of collecting, analyzing, summarizing
and evaluating the cost incurred in the process production of goods.
Cost accounting provides the detailed cost information that
management need to control current operations and plans for future.
The aim of maintaining cost accounting is to provide better

and to increase profit. Cost Accounting is the process of accounting for
cost which begins with recording of income and expenditure and ends
with the preparation of statistical data. It is the formal mechanism by
means of which cost of products or services are ascertained and
controlled.
Cost Accounting may be defined as “Accounting for costs classification
and analysis of expenditure as will enable the total cost of any
particular unit of production to be ascertained with reasonable degree
of accuracy and at the same time to disclose exactly how such total cost
is constituted”.
It establishes budgets and standard costs and actual cost of
operations, processes, departments or products and the analysis of
variances, profitability and social use of funds.

summarizes and interprets Information for product costing, operation
