correct financial position
of the organization.
To calculate cost of each
unit of product on the
basis of which we can

financial accounting is at
the end of financial year.
Reporting under cost
accounting is done as per
the requirement of
management or as-and-
when-required basis.

costs are recorded
broadly.

minute reporting of cost
is done per-unit wise.

upon financial
accounting for the
supply of basic data for
analysis
PROCESS
Journal entries, ledger
accounts, trial balance,
and financial statements
Cost of sale of
product(s), addition of
margin and
determination of selling
price of the product.
