Background of the Study
Cost accounting practices are essential for informed financial decision-making in organizations. By accurately tracking and analyzing costs, managers and decision-makers can assess the financial health of an organization and make decisions that promote profitability and sustainability. In Ningi Local Government Area (LGA), businesses, including SMEs, agricultural ventures, and public institutions, face financial challenges that hinder effective decision-making. Cost accounting systems provide the framework to evaluate costs, measure profitability, and allocate resources efficiently (Horngren et al., 2012).
The impact of cost accounting practices on decision-making is particularly significant in Ningi LGA, where financial decision-makers often lack the tools and knowledge to use cost data effectively. This study explores how cost accounting influences financial decision-making in Ningi LGA, emphasizing its role in budgeting, pricing, and profitability assessment.
