Human resource accounting is the process of assigning, budgeting, and reporting the costs of human resources incurred by an organization, including wages, salaries, and training expenses. The objectives of human resource accounting are to help organizations with decision making, monitor the effective use of human resources by management, attract and retain qualified employees, analyze human assets, and profile the organization in financial terms. A human resource audit identifies and measures data about human resources and communicates this information to interested parties.
