IntroductionCost accounting is a process of collecting, analysing, summarising and evaluating various alternative
courses of action. Its goal is to advise the management on the most appropriate course of action based onthe cost efficiency and capability. Cost accounting provides the detailed cost information that managementneeds to control current operations and plan for the future. Cost accounting information is commonly usedin financial accounting information, but its primary function is for use by managers to facilitate makingdecisions.
Unlike the accounting systems that help in the preparation of financial reports periodically, the costaccounting systems and reports are not subject to rules and standards like the Generally AcceptedAccounting Principles Cost accounting can be most beneficial as a tool for management in budgeting and insetting up cost control programmes, which can improve net margins for the company in the future.
Definition of Cost AccountingA type of accounting process that aims to capture a company's costs of production by assessing the
input costs of each step of production as well as fixed costs such as depreciation of capital equipment. Costaccounting will first measure and record these costs individually, then compare input results to output oractual results to aid company management in measuring financial performance.
Objectives of Cost AccountingThe main objectives of Cost Accounting are as follows: Ascertainment of Cost. Determination of Selling Price. Cost control and Cost Reduction. Ascertaining the Profit of each activity.
Uses of Cost Accounting1. Helps in Ascertainment of Cost: Cost Accounting helps in the ascertainment of cost of each
Product, Process job, Contract, Activity etc. by using different methods of costing such as JobCosting and Process Costing.
2. Helps in Control of Cost: It helps in the control of Material costs, Labour Costs and Overheadsby using different techniques of control such as Standard Costing and Budgetary Control.
3. Helps in Decision Making:It helps the Management in making various decisions such as –
(i) Whether to make or buy a component(ii) Whether to retain or replace an existing machine
Cost Control Accounts1

2 Cost Accounting – Methods and Techniques
(iii) Whether to process further or not(iv) Whether to shut down or continue operations(v) Whether to accept orders below cost or not
(vi) Whether to expand or not(vii) How much reduction in the selling price should be made in case of depression
4. Helps in fixing Selling Prices: It helps the Management in fixing selling prices of products orservices by providing detailed Cost information.
5. Helps in Inventory Control: It helps in inventory by using various techniques such as ABCanalysis, Economic Order Quantity, Stock levels, Perpetual Inventory System and ContinuousStock Taking, Inventory Turnover Ratio etc.
6. Helps in Cost Reduction: It helps in the introduction of Cost Reduction Programme and findingout new and improved method to reduce costs.
7. Helps in measurement of Efficiency: It helps in measurements of efficiency of operationsthrough establishment of Standards and Variance analysis.
Integrated and Non-integrated System of AccountsNon-integrated System
Features:(i) Separate Books: In a non-integrated Cost accounting system there are separate cost accounts–
cost journals and cost ledgers.(ii) Principle of Double-entry: However, it too follows the fundamental principles of double entry
book-keeping (debit and credit) for this purpose.(iii) Cost Manual: As the number and types of transactions involved in accounting are numerous, a
number of individuals are employed in their recording and analysis. A cost manual is prepared forguidance of the staff. CIMA has defined a ‘cost manual’ as ‘a document which sets out theresponsibilities which sets out the responsibilities of the persons engaged in, and the routine of,and the forms and records required for, costing and cost accounting.’
(iv) Voucher: As in the case of financial accounting system, transactions are recorded in the Costjournal voucher, which provides the details necessary to support an entry in the cost accounts.
(v) Account/Code: Each entry is debited/credited to a cost account. CIMA has defined a ‘costaccount’ as ‘an account in the cost ledger’. Each account may be given a cost code. A ‘cost code’is a series of alphabetical and/or alpha-numerical symbol representing a descriptive title in a costclassification.’
(vi) Journal: These vouchers are first entered into cost journals. There may be one general journal tosummarise all original entries or separate journals may be kept to record labour, material, andoverhead transactions.
(vii) Ledger: From the cost journals, entries posted in the cost ledger. CIMA has defined a ‘cost ledger’as ‘a ledger whose accounts record those transactions which are included in costs.’ Cost ledgermay be divided into main and subsidiary ledgers. There may be a main ledger known as costledger and other subsidiary ledgers like stores ledger, work-in-progress ledger and finished stockledger.

Cost LedgerThis ledger consists of all impersonal accounts. It ismade self-balancing by maintaining a controlaccount for each of the other three ledgers explainedbelow.
Stores LedgerThis ledger consists of all stores accounts.Individual accounts are maintained for each items ofstore.Work-in-progress ledgerIn this ledger, cost of materials, wages andoverheads of each job undertaken is posted.

General Ledger Adjustment (or cost ledger control)AccountThis account is essential to make the cost ledger ‘self-balancing’. All transactions of income and expenditurewhich originates in the financial accounts are entered inthis ledger for eventual transfer to cost account. Thebalance in this account will always be equal to the totalof all the balances of the impersonal accounts.Stores ledger control accountThis account is debited with all purchases of materialsfor the stores and credited with all issues of materials.
Work-in-progress control accountIt consists of all direct materials, direct wages, directexpenses, special purchases and expenses. Productionoverheads are debited to this account regarding totalwork-in-progress of different jobs at any time.
Control AccountsThe cost ledger contains two types of accounts to complete the double entry:1. Cost ledger control account2. Three cost control accounts (stores, WIP, and finished goods)A Cost ledger control account: CIMA has defined a ‘cost ledger control account’ as ‘an account
which is maintained in the principal ledger (and sometimes in the cost ledger) which records thetotals of the transactions recorded in detail in the cost ledger and provides a check on the accuracyof the latter.’ Cost ledger control account helps to record all items of income and expenditure. Thefunction of this account which is also referred to as General ledger adjustment account or nominalledger control account is quite important in a cost accounting system.
B Cost control accounts: The three cost control accounts – Stores ledger control account, Work-in-progress control account and Finished goods control account – help to exercise control over theconcerned subsidiary ledgers. Transactions kept in details in one or more accounts of thesubsidiary ledger are posted in totals, at the end of a period, to the control accounts.
I Stores ledger control account–– Records material cost: this account records materials functions–– Debits and credits: receipts are posted from goods received notes and issues from material
requisition or materials issue analysis sheet. The account also records issue of materials tooutside parties, returns through return notes, and stores adjustment through material transfernotes.
–– Balance: the balance of this account represents the total balance of stock which should agreewith the aggregate of the balances of individual folios in the stores ledger.
II Wages control account–– Records labour cost: This account records labour transactions.–– Debits and credits: Entries are made from wages analysis sheet. The account is debited with
the gross wages and is cleared by the transfer of direct labour to work-in-progress and indirect
4 Cost Accounting – Methods and Techniques
labour to factory, administration and selling and distribution overhead control accounts orresearch and development account or capital account as the case may be.
III Factory overhead control account–– Records overheads costs: this account deals with manufacturing overhead expenses.–– Debits and credits: to this account is debited the amount of indirect materials, indirect labour,
and indirect expenses incurred. The figures are obtained from materials issue analysis sheet,wages analysis sheet, and expense analysis sheet. The account is credited with the amount ofoverhead recovered, as obtained from the applied overhead analysis sheet. Where separateoverhead applied account is opened, credit is given to this account.
IV Work-in-progress control account–– Debits: this account is debited with the opening balance of work-in-progress, and materials,
labour and factory overhead costs (recovered).–– Credit: this account is credited with the cost of finished goods.–– Balance: the balance of this account represents unfinished closing stock in process carried
over.V Finished goods control account
–– Debits: this account is debited with the opening balance of finished goods; the cost of finishedgoods for the period transferred from the work-in-progress control account and the amount ofadministration overhead recovered, if administration overhead is not treated as period cost.
–– Credits: it is credited with the cost of sales (by transfer to cost of sales account).–– Balance: the balance of the account after writing back the unrecovered administration
overheads, represents unsold stock carried over.VI Administration overhead account
–– Debits: administration overhead cost is debited to this account.–– Credits: the amount of overhead recovered in the finished goods sold is credited. Another
method is close the administration overhead account by transfer to costing profit and lossaccount. In this case, no amount of administration cost is charged to the finished goodsaccount. When administration overhead is prorated to manufacturing and selling anddistribution overheads, the administration overheads account is credited with the amount sotransferred.
VII Cost of sales account–– Debit: this account is debited with the cost of goods sold and selling and distribution
overhead recovered.–– Credit: it is closed by transfer to costing profit and loss account.
VIII Selling and distribution overhead account–– Debit: selling and distribution costs are debited to the selling and distribution overhead
account.–– Credit: at the end of the period, the account is closed by transfer to cost of sales account.
IX Overhead adjustment account–– Debits and credits: the amount of under-absorbed or over-absorbed factory, administration,
selling and distribution overheads may be debited or credited to this account. Sometimes theaccount is not maintained and the amount of under-absorption or over-absorption istransferred directly to costing profit and loss account.
Cost Control Accounts 5
–– Balance: the balance at the end of a period, may be either(i) Carried over to the next accounting period
(ii) Or transferred to costing profit and loss account(iii) Or prorated to cost of sales account, work-in-progress account and finished stock
account.–– Balance: the closing balance of this account represents the costing profit or loss which should
be reconciled with the financial profit or loss.
Integrated SystemMeaning:
CIMA has defined Integrated system as “a system in which the financial and cost accounts areinterlocked to ensure that all relevant expenditure is absorbed into the cost accounts.” Under this accountingsystem transactions are classified both according to their function and share.
Integrated account is the name given to a system whereby cost and financial accounts are kept in thesame set of books.
Features:
1. Financial transactions: The integrated system records, besides internal costing transactions, otherfinancial items not normally required for cost accounting. Accounts for capital expenditure, sundrycreditors and debtors, share capital, cash and bank transactions, and pre-payments and accruals areopened.
2. Store transactions: Store transactions are recorded in the stores control account. The cost ofstores purchased is debited to the stores control account and credit is given to cash or sundrycreditors accounts depending upon whether the purchase is made for cash or credit.
3. Wages and expenses: The wages paid are debited to the wages control account; correspondingcredit is taken in the cash or bank account. Similarly, overhead expenses incurred are debited tothe overhead control account by credit to the cash or bank account or the sundry creditors account.
4. Third entries: Suitable cost analysis is made of the transactions relating to material, labour andoverhead, which are posted in the stores, wages and overhead control accounts and at the end ofthe accounting period, transfer of the total is made to the work-in-progress account by crediting thevarious control accounts.
5. Accruals and pre-payments: All accruals are debited and advance payments credited to therespective control accounts by contra entries in the accrual and pre-payments accounts.
6. Capital expenditure: Capital expenditure is separated in the process of cost analysis and creditedto the control accounts by debit to the capital assets account.
7. Cost control account: Sometimes a separate ‘cost control account’ is opened to record the costtransactions. The wages control and overhead control accounts are dispensed with and alltransactions relating to wages and overhead are entered in the cost control account.
8. Work-in-progress accounts: The work-in-progress account may be split up into three separateaccounts material-in-process, labour-in-process and factory overhead-in-process accounts.
Advantages:Integral or integrated accounting records all financial and cost accounting transactions in one
combined ledger. The advantages of integral accounting are as follows:
6 Cost Accounting – Methods and Techniques
1. No separate financial A/c: The need for separate sets of financial and cost accounts ledger doesnot exist. This saves clerical expenditure.
2. No reconciliation: There is no need for reconciliation between the financial and cost accounts.3. Cross-check ensures accuracy: There is an automatic check on the correctness of the cost data
and this ensures that all legitimate expenditure is included in cost accounts.4. Avoid Duplication: Fewer accounts and records are required, and duplication in accounting and
analysis is avoided.5. No delay: As cost accounts are posted straight from the books of original entry there is no delay in
obtaining cost data.6. Complementary: Integral system offers an additional advantage from the psychological point of
view. It shows the complementary status of cost and financial accounting which need not beconsidered as two separate watertight compartments.
7. Economy: Centralised as well as computerised accounting, which is possible in the integratedsystem, results in economy.
8. Pooling of knowledge: The knowledge of financial and cost accounting may be pooled together.9. Wider Outlook: Integrated accounting widens the outlook of the accountant and his staff who are
placed in a better position to appreciate the entire accounting system.10. Avoids Cost ledger control A/c: In integral accounting, there is no need to open a cost ledger
control account because it is possible to post each transaction on double entry basis without thenecessity for opening a balancing account.
