Background of the Study
Cooperative societies play an essential role in supporting the economic development of their members, particularly in rural areas such as Dukku Local Government Area (LGA). These societies engage in various activities, including credit provision, agricultural support, and small-scale business ventures. To ensure financial sustainability and the welfare of their members, cooperative societies must effectively manage their resources. Cost accounting provides a systematic approach for tracking and controlling expenses, offering valuable insights into the financial health of the cooperative (Sullivan, 2010).
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of cost accounting practices in cooperative societies in Dukku LGA, focusing on their ability to track expenses, allocate resources, and improve financial decision-making.
Statement of the Problem
Many cooperative societies in Dukku LGA face challenges in managing their finances due to the lack of formal cost accounting practices. Without proper cost control mechanisms, these societies often struggle with inefficiencies, mismanagement of funds, and poor financial outcomes. This study investigates the role of cost accounting in improving financial management within these societies.
