Who Controls Costs?

Trevor J. Bentley

Chapter 5 in Making Cost Control Work, 1978, pp 33-42 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract If we ever really wish to control costs we will have to harness the goodwill of people throughout the whole organisation. In any business activity costs have to be incurred. Cost control means minimising the resources used to achieve a given objective. What we are, therefore, concerned with is basically the prevention of waste.
