The cost management system is a powerful tool for managers to understand manufacturing plant performance. It is essential for any organization to develop a cost management system to estimate the product cost and to account actual cost spent for the product manufacturing. The Activity Based Costing (ABC) system has recently attracted the attention of many companies and is considered to provide better information about the cost pattern and the relationship between resources and activities. However, a survey of earlier research reveals that there are several difficulties to estimate the true product cost due to selection of overhead drivers to activities. To overcome these difficulties Temporal-ABC has been developed by Dr. K.D. Tham. In the first part of the report, costing system implementation issues are studied through real-time case studies. Then, research has been conducted and web-based proptotype application is developed using Temporal-ABC through collaboration with a world-class electronics industry - Celestica Inc. Toronto, Canada. The developed prototype demonstrates the application of Temporal-ABC for cost estimation at Celestica.

The study examines the perception of activity based costing (ABC) in Australian universities. Using a questionnaire survey, data was collected from twenty-six finance directors and/or chief financial officers in Australian universities. The perception of ABC implementation in Australian universities depends on many variables including the understanding of ABC, consideration of ABC as a strategic cost management system, the role of ABC in reduction of expenses, consideration of ABC as a valuable tool to enhance overhead cost allocation, and consideration of ABC as an effective strategic cost management system designed to incorporate the university’s critical input, output, and process variables resulting in value creation. The result of regression analysis provides significant and positive association between the decision to implement ABC in Australian universities and both the treatment of ABC as a strategic cost management system and the degree of both senior management and internal champion support. The findings indicate substantial differences in the allocation of the overhead costs between ABC and traditional costing systems. The result also reveals that many Australian universities using the ABC method receive benefits in improving cost reduction and better resource allocation with revenue surplus. Furthermore, the study develops a generic model of cost pools and drivers of ABC implementation in Australian universities.

The article is aimed at researching the essence of costs for the quality of production, their importance and necessity, the reliability of reflection in the accounting system, which will ensure the efficiency of managerial decision-making and the introduction of a cost management system at the enterprise, including in terms of costs for the production quality. Approaches to the essence of quality costs are analyzed, researches of scientists on the need for such costs in the cost management system of enterprise and the production quality management system are substantiated. Approaches to the feasibility of classification of quality costs on the basis of requests from the managers of different levels of management are considered, as well as the formation of their nomenclature and catalogue in terms of costs for quality provision and for the correction of rejects. The need to introduce a system of accounting for the production quality as an informational component of making effective managerial decisions is substantiated. The researchers’ proposals for displaying quality costs in the accounting system are examined. A generalized algorithm of the process of organization of accounting for costs of production quality is proposed, which provides for: setting tasks for accounting costs for quality; determination of objects of accounting and classification of such costs, methods of assessing the costs of production quality, system of accounts; development of a complex of documentary support. The components of each stage of this algorithm are substantiated. It is determined that the efficiency of the quality costs management system depends on reliable accounting and analytical provision at all stages of the economic process of their occurrence, accumulation, distribution and write-off.

The article presents the results of the development and testing of cost management methods in agricultural organizations. The purpose of the activity of any organization that has set itself the task of extracting profit is its growth and increasing the efficiency of its activities. As a rule, all organizations strive to maximize their profits while minimizing the costs incurred. In modern economic conditions, such an approach is possible only with a properly constructed effective cost management system. Rational use of available resources by organizations of the agro-industrial complex with proper cost management will allow organizations to be competitive in the market and carry out their activities in the foreseeable future. The subject of the study is the cost management accounting system, the object of the organization of the agro-industrial complex of the Stavropol Territory. The information base was the forms of specialized reporting of agricultural organizations of the Stavropol Territory. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the development of a methodology for the cost management system in the agro-industrial complex organizations of the Stavropol Territory.
