Cost accounting can be defined as the art and science of recording, classifying, summarizing, and analyzing costs to help management make prudent business decisions, says Investopedia. In simpler terms, cost accounting is simply an amalgamation of accounting for all the business costs – the expenses incurred by a particular segment or the business as a whole. The purpose behind cost accounting is simply to keep track of all business expenses to control the costs, compute the essential expenses, get rid of the auxiliary ones, and reduce costs where possible. Controlling of costs refers to the process where budgets are set, targets are decided, and then management makes strategies to achieve those targets in the most cost efficient way possible. Computing costs simply refers to the process whereby cost projections are made for future projects. And therefore, cost reduction then simply means to apply the cost reducing strategies, pick up lowest costing options, and strive to achieve maximum cost efficiencies in a business.

Cost Accounting Outsourcing
Flexibility and Scalability
Outsourcing, for any business segment, is a cost accounting decision before anything else. The primary motive of getting an outsourcing partner on board is to reduce costs of business operations which makes it a key decision of outsourcing. In terms of cost accounting, and outsourcing decision can then be simply a choice between producing a good or service in-house or ‘buying’ it at a lower cost from an outside business process outsourcing company. There is no denying that sometimes outsourcing decisions are made on the basis of availability of resources, proximity in geographical terms to the resources or the market, or simply because of the lack of necessary qualifications or infrastructure. But even in these cases, it is essentially a cost decision because with enough financial strength almost everything can be produced in-house.
WHY OUTSOURCING IS BETTER?
When it comes to cost accounting itself, you may find that having the appropriately qualified personnel will help you get much better decisions than your own staff. This is because there are some qualitative factors as well that go into cost accounting and the expertise to utilize them comes only from experience, not just good intentions. Such factors include judging the reliability and consistency of suppliers and their offered prices in the market. The ability to control factors like storage facilities and conditions, quality of goods or services purchased or manufactured, as well as future market capabilities to negotiate better deals with customers and suppliers alike. The predictions about overall economic conditions are also equally relevant and are again something better left to experts. In a nutshell, the process of cost accounting can help you achieve massive targets, but for that the process itself needs to be impeccable. While outsourcing is now being advised and practiced in almost all non-core business activities, hiring a BPO to help you with outsourcing decisions is equally good and useful an advice, especially for newer and growing businesses.
