1.0      INTRODUCTION

The role of cost accounting cannot be over emphasized as it is needed to assist the management in planning, controlling and organizing the business activities in order to achieve its objectives.

Ever since the use of money replaced barter, people have been concerned with costs.  However, it was the concentration of manufacturing facilities in the factories which gave impulse to the development or recognizable costing systems.  In other word cost accounting is probably the field of account which has developed most within the half – century and there can be no doubt its growing importance.  This is partly a reflection methods which results in greater capital investment and higher proportion of indirect costs and partly a reflection of growing completion and widening markets.  All these factors necessitate the keeping of systematic and accurate records which will show the cost of goods produced.

There is a constant level of activities in any industry engaged in manufacturing and sales of products manufacturing industries are made up of different sections in which people are continuing toward changing the form of raw – material in order to supply the customers with a desirable product.
