, EXECUTIVE PROGRAMME
COST AND MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
Finance and accounting have assumed much importance in today’s competitive world of business
wherein corporate organisations have to show the true and fair view of their financial position. Thus,
the application of accounting in the business sector has become an indispensable factor. Company
Secretary has to provide the complete and accurate information about the financial operations of the
company to management for decision making. This emphasises that the books of account are to be
maintained accurately, up-to-date and as per the norms.
The subject ‘Cost and Management Accounting’ is very important and useful for optimum
utilisation of existing resources. These are branches of accounting and had been developed due to
limitations of financial accounting. It is an indispensable discipline for corporate management, as the
information collected and presented to management based on cost and management accounting
techniques helps management to solve not only specific problems but also guides them in decision
making. Keeping in view the importance of this subject, various topics on Cost and Management
Accounting have been prescribed in the syllabus of CS Executive Programme with the objective of
acquainting the students with the basic concepts used in cost accounting and management
accounting having a bearing on managerial decision-making.
The entire paper has been discussed in twelve study lessons. In starting four study lessons we
have discussed about the basic of cost accounting, material, labour and overheads costing. Further
we have highlighted the concept of activity based costing, cost records, different costing systems.
Thereafter study focuses on the marginal costing, standard costing, budgeting & its applications for
decision making in business. At last we have discussed about cost accounting records, cost audit and
analysis & interpretation of financial statements.
In this study every efforts has been made to give a comprehensive coverage of all the topics
relevant to the subject. In all study lessons the requisite theoretical framework for understanding the
practical problems in the subject has been explained and wherever necessary practical illustrations
have been given to facilitate better understanding. At the end of each study lesson a brief about the
lesson have been given under the caption ‘Lesson Round Up’ as well a good blend of theoretical and
practical questions have been given under the caption ‘Self Test Questions’ for the practice of
students to test their knowledge. In fact, this being a practical paper, students need to have good
theoretical knowledge and practice to attain the requisite proficiency and confidence.
This study material has been published to aid the students in preparing for the Cost and
Management Accounting paper of the CS Executive Programme. It is part of the education kit and
takes the students step by step through each phase of preparation stressing key concepts, pointers
and procedures. Company Secretaryship being a professional course, the examination standards are
