Background of the Study
Budget preparation is a fundamental aspect of financial management, providing a framework for resource allocation, expenditure planning, and organizational goal achievement. In Kazaure Local Government Area, public and private organizations face challenges in preparing effective budgets, often resulting in resource mismanagement and financial inefficiencies. Cost accounting plays a crucial role in addressing these issues by providing detailed insights into cost structures, enabling more accurate and strategic budgeting.

By identifying cost drivers and evaluating expenses, organizations can prepare budgets that align with their financial objectives and constraints.

This study investigates the effectiveness of cost accounting in budget preparation in Kazaure Local Government Area, emphasizing its role in improving financial planning and resource management.
