Background of the Study
Revenue generation is essential for the sustainability and development of local government administrations. In Idah Local Government Area, the challenge of low revenue collection has hindered the implementation of key developmental projects. Cost accounting, as a tool for financial analysis and decision-making, plays a significant role in identifying cost-saving measures and optimizing revenue streams.
Cost accounting techniques such as activity-based costing, standard costing, and variance analysis enable local governments to monitor expenses, assess revenue-generating activities, and implement strategies to enhance fiscal efficiency. Despite its importance, the adoption of cost accounting practices in revenue management remains limited in Idah Local Government Area, leading to financial inefficiencies and untapped revenue potential. This study examines the impact of cost accounting on revenue generation in the area, aiming to highlight its relevance in achieving financial sustainability.
