Area of Science:

Business and Management
Accounting

Background:

Organizations face financial risks when accounting costs differ from actual costs.
Activity-based costing (ABC) offers a solution to this discrepancy.

Purpose of the Study:

To explain the principles and application of Activity-based costing (ABC).
To highlight ABC's role in mitigating financial problems arising from cost deviations.

Main Methods:

ABC analysis involves two key factors: cost elements and cost drivers.
Cost elements are measurable units of cost (e.g., item cost).
Cost drivers are measurable features of service usage (e.g., frequency of use).

Main Results:

ABC provides a more accurate reflection of true costs by linking expenses to specific activities.
This method is most effective in service areas with predictable resource consumption and identifiable service units.

Conclusions:

Activity-based costing (ABC) is a valuable accounting technique for improving cost accuracy.
Proper application of ABC can help organizations avoid significant financial problems related to cost management.
