Costing methods

Costing methods

To ensure profitability, engineering companies need to have in place an effective costing system that take into account the real cost of manufacturing the product or delivering the service that it provides. Without such a system in place it is impossible to control costs and determine the overall profitability of the business operation.

Cost accounting is necessary for a company to be able to exercise control over the actual costs incurred compared with planned expenditure. From the point of view of cost control, a costing system should not only be able to identify any costs that are running out of control but should also provide a tool that can assist in determining the action that is required to put things right.
