Abstract: THE ROLE OF COST ACCOUNTING IN PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT IN THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY
This study examines the role of cost accounting in performance measurement within the textile industry in Kano. The objectives are to analyze how cost accounting supports performance measurement, assess its impact on financial performance, and identify the challenges faced. A survey design was utilized, gathering data from 200 financial managers and accountants in textile companies, derived using Taro Yamane's formula. A case study of a leading textile firm in Kano provided comprehensive insights. The reliability coefficient score was 0.86. Findings indicate that cost accounting plays a crucial role in performance measurement by providing detailed cost information and facilitating better decision-making. However, challenges such as data collection difficulties and compliance issues were identified. Recommendations include providing more training for accountants, simplifying data collection processes, and integrating cost accounting with overall performance measurement practices to enhance organizational performance.
