Cost & Performance Accounting

While cost accounting is often used within a company to aid in decision making, financial accounting is what the outside investor community typically sees. Financial accounting is a different representation of costs and financial performance that includes a company’s assets and liabilities. At getsix® we believe, that cost accounting can be most beneficial as a tool for management in budgeting and in setting up cost control programs, which can improve net margins for the company in the future.


The outcome of business activities

The outcome of business activities (profits, amounts and quality of products made) are summarised and represented in cost and performance accounting. The utilisation and/or consumption of various production factors (costs) within a company are also represented. The information extracted from cost and performance accounting is used for short-term.

Your enterprise may also function perfectly without economic analysis of internal processes.

What will happen, however, if the need arises for you to arrange a loan, and the bank inquires about the targets and plans of the enterprise? What if you wish to sell the firm and a potential investor inquires about cost structure?
