What are cost accounting and its applications?

Submitted by: Administrator
Cost Accounting is a method by which an accountant can determine the cost of production of a "widget". This is used in accurate reporting of Cost of Goods Sold and consequently the Gross Income of a company. A Cost Accountant will follow the "widget" throughout the production process tracking any costs associated and breaking them down to a unit level. It gets more complicated than that but this is a good generic answer.
