Background of the Study
Rural cooperatives in Okene Local Government Area (LGA), primarily focused on agricultural activities, have faced numerous challenges in implementing effective cost accounting systems. Cost accounting plays a crucial role in managing the finances of cooperatives by providing insights into cost structures, profitability, and the overall financial health of the cooperative. However, many rural cooperatives lack the capacity to implement formal cost accounting systems, leading to inefficiencies, financial mismanagement, and poor decision-making. This study aims to explore the challenges faced by rural cooperatives in Okene LGA in adopting and utilizing cost accounting systems effectively.
