Function-based cost management is the budgeting philosophy that the budget controller (in this case the manager) budgets costs based on the function of a department, person, area, etc. Generally, the manager assigns costs according to the importance of the function to that manager.
Functional-based costing considers total expenses incurred at all levels. Functional-based cost budgets for departments, for example, will include costs incurred by every activity performed in that department. In functional-based costing, accountants assign fixed costs such as manufacturing overhead to output on a per-unit basis.
Functional costing is a method of cost analysis that assigns costs to the functions of an organization or product, helping to identify areas of inefficiency and opportunities for cost reduction. It relates to functional analysis by providing a detailed understanding of how costs are incurred within each function of an organization or process, allowing for a more accurate assessment of cost drivers and performance metrics.
