Background of the Study
Rural cooperatives play a pivotal role in the economic development of rural communities by promoting shared resources, improving access to credit, and supporting entrepreneurial initiatives. However, resource optimization remains a major challenge for these cooperatives, often resulting in inefficiencies and underperformance. Cost accounting provides a framework for tracking, analyzing, and managing costs, enabling organizations to allocate resources effectively and improve operational efficiency.
In Otukpo Local Government Area, rural cooperatives serve as a vital mechanism for economic empowerment and poverty alleviation. Despite their importance, many cooperatives struggle to optimize their resources due to inadequate financial management systems and poor cost accounting practices. Factors such as limited access to professional expertise, inadequate training, and reliance on traditional methods hinder the adoption of cost accounting practices.
This study investigates the role of cost accounting in enhancing resource optimization in rural cooperatives in Otukpo Local Government Area, emphasizing its potential to improve sustainability, efficiency, and financial accountability.
