后臺有考友在問Cost accounting的相關知識
它是怎樣定義的?
F2中涉及到它的知識點在哪凡橱?
它和Management accounting有什么區(qū)別?
今天就來和大家好好講講
Q: 什么是Cost accounting ?
Costing accounting is the?‘gathering of cost information and its attachment to cost objects, the establishment of budgets, standard costs and actual costs of operations, processes, activities or products; and the analysis of variances, profitability or the social use of funds.
——? ? ?CIMA Official Terminology
簡單來說,Cost accounting?做以下三件事:
① Preparing statements (Eg budgets, costing)
② Cost data collection
③ Applying costs to inventory, products and services
Q:Cost accounting的目標Aims是什么?
主要是實現以下目標:
① Cost /Value of inventory of goods/Future costs(成本是做預算的一個主要部分)
② Revenue/Selling price
③ Profitability
④ How actual costs compare with budgeted costs兩者之間的差異要不要采取措施去更正含蓉?
⑤ What information management needs為了做決定?
注意:Cost accounting不僅僅可以應用于生產制造方面領域项郊,在服務業(yè)馅扣,政府部門,社會福利活動方面也適用呆抑。在一個生產企業(yè)中岂嗓,Cost accounting系統(tǒng)不僅可用于制造汁展,也可以用在administration,selling and distribution, research and development等部門鹊碍。
Q:
Cost accounting適用于做決策厌殉?WHY?
NO侈咕!? 絕對不適合喲~
因為用來做決定的信息一定要是relevant的公罕,做決定這件事是關于未來的,因此肯定帶有一定程度的不確定性uncertainty耀销,所以用來做決定的信息也一定要帶有一定的不確定性楼眷。而Cost accounting報告的信息,都是past data熊尉,并且罐柳,Eg,在Absorption costing下狰住,很多信息在某些場景下都是帶有誤導性質张吉、不相關的,這樣做出來的決策一定不會是最佳的催植。
Q:
Cost accounting &
Management accounting之間的關系肮蛹?
很多時候,我們會被告知创南,Cost accounting和Management accounting就是一樣東西伦忠,但這樣說是不對的。同學們一定要記住這句話Cost accounting is part of management accounting.這句話是一個考點稿辙,考試的時候會以兩種方式迷惑你昆码,第一種是主語和賓語顛倒;第二種邻储,他會把Management accounting換成Financial accounting.同學們一定要保持清醒未桥,做出正確的判斷!
最后一點芥备,Cost accounting也為Management accounting提供了一堆data, 成本會計的內容應該是闡述各種成本計算方法冬耿,至于成本控制與分析則由管理會計完成。
?小測試?
看完以上的小科普接下來我們來看一道題目萌壳,同學們可以檢驗一下自己有沒有真正學懂Costing accounting亦镶。
