Developing a Cost Accounting System

Cost accounting systems help companies to ascertain the cost of their products accurately, provide valuable operational, financial information, and measure performance. However, the challenge lies in capturing and monitoring the product cost.  The functionality of the cost accounting system, its management, and implementation is not a part of normal day-to-day business considerations and that’s where you can rely on MentorisCorp.

At MentorisCorp our team helps to develop an effective cost accounting system by:

  • Performing proper due diligence to collect complete data around the functionality of the existing system.
  • Evaluating the capabilities of your company’s existing cost accounting system to handle the accounting requirements of your organization’s current and future needs.
  • Preparing the new system with reasonable expectations and clear objectives.
Cost & Management Consultancy

Cost management helps a company by measuring the operational cost of a product or service; it helps them to prune the non-value added costs by streamlining operations and creates processes that are future proof. 

Our Cost Management includes:

A) Resource planning:

At MentorisCorp our team begins resource planning with the execution plan delving into work breakdown structure, organizational breakdown structure, work packages, and execution strategy. Our team also takes into consideration the estimated resource quantities, evaluates resource availability, and limitations considering project circumstances, and then optimizes how the limited available resources can be best used in the activities over time. 

B) Cost estimation:

Cost estimation is done to quantify the cost and price of the resources required by the investment option, activity, or project.

At MentorisCorp our team uses dedicated software systems to achieve:

  • Creation of cost estimates from factor estimate to detailed estimate.
  • Request cost bids, analyze those bids, and keep track of its costs.
  • Track project costs during the execution phase by linking your project controls document directly to your estimate, minimize data handling, increase efficiency, and reduce the number of errors.

C) Cost control:

Cost control is concerned with measuring variances from the cost baseline and taking effective corrective action to achieve optimum costs.

At MentorisCorp our cost control services help you to achieve:

  • Project cost control through regular tracing of actual cost components to its original budget.
  • Estimate new or eliminated costs and add or deduct them from your project controls document.
  • On completion of the project, the actual cost models are analyzed thoroughly to increase their accuracy and quality for future estimating.
