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.
