Background of the Study
Effective resource allocation is crucial for the achievement of the development objectives of Kebbe Local Government Area (LGA). Local governments face numerous challenges in allocating resources efficiently due to factors such as financial constraints, competing priorities, and limited information on cost behaviors. Cost accounting provides essential tools for better understanding and managing costs, which in turn supports informed decision-making regarding resource allocation. Cost allocation, break-even analysis, and budget variance analysis are just some of the cost accounting techniques that can be used to optimize resource distribution (Zimmerman, 2014).
This study aims to assess the effect of cost accounting on resource allocation in Kebbe LGA, focusing on how the application of cost accounting principles can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of resource distribution.
