Background of the Study
Agricultural enterprises play a crucial role in the economic development of Akwanga Local Government Area, contributing to food security, employment, and rural livelihoods. However, these enterprises face financial challenges, including high production costs, inefficiencies, and fluctuating market conditions. Cost accounting techniques provide a framework for analyzing and managing costs to ensure profitability and sustainability.
Cost accounting techniques, such as standard costing, marginal costing, and variance analysis, enable agricultural enterprises to identify cost drivers, control expenses, and improve decision-making. Despite the potential benefits, many agricultural enterprises in Akwanga struggle with implementing these techniques due to limited expertise and resources. This study explores the effectiveness of cost accounting techniques in improving the financial performance of agricultural enterprises in Akwanga Local Government Area.
