Course Description

Many organizations do not have cost accounting systems that are capable of meeting all the internal (management) and external (financial reporting and contract compliance) needs of the organization. The lack of robust systems often is evidenced through inability to accurately model the impact of changes in business volume or to understand and identify non profitable product lines. Contract noncompliance can also result when cost accounting systems are not sufficient to meet contractual obligations. This live webinar helps identify the importance of a robust cost accounting system to a variety of different organization types. We will discuss key concepts related to cost accounting and then delve into areas we have often seen as being lacking for organizations that require cost accounting information for financial reporting, managerial and contract compliance purposes.
