Chapter 4 in Management Accounting in Supply Chains, 2020, pp 71-94 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter focuses on cost accounting, which is often considered to be the “multi-purpose tool” of any management accountant. The information that is processed in a company’s cost accounting system plays a pivotal role in managing the entire supply chain. In order to optimize costs across the entire supply chain, cost information needs to be exchanged between partners. The chapter discusses the challenges that are posed to cost accounting by the SCM philosophy as well as possible tools and concepts to overcome these challenges.
