Cost Accounting

Finance and Accounting

Cost accounting is a branch of managerial accounting that focuses on capturing, analyzing, and controlling a company's costs of production, including direct materials, labor, and overhead. Cost accountants use methods like standard costing, activity-based costing, and variance analysis to help management set prices, budget, and improve operational efficiency. It differs from financial accounting in that it's used primarily for internal decision-making rather than external reporting.
