What is the scope of cost accounting?

Cost accounting is generally thought of in connection with manufacturing operations. Cost accounting in this field has reached its highest development, and its valuable and well proved services to manufacturing concerns amply justify this association. There is no reason, however, to believe that the principles and procedures of cost accounting cannot, with some variations, be applied to other fields.In fact, wherever it is necessary to know the cost of manufacturing a particular product, doing a particular job, rendering a particular services, or investigating efficiency in terms of cost, cost accounting techniques and procedures can be applied with greater benefits. In additions to its use in the manufacturing operations, another useful area of its application is field of marketing and administration. In this field, the work done is of comparatively recent origin and has not been developed to the same degree of refinement as in the manufacturing field. Much work, investigation and research into procedures and methods in this area are currently being observed. In short, procedures and techniques developed by cost accounting have been found useful in the fields of banking, insurance, public utilities, motor trucking, departmental stores, hospitals, hotels educational institutions, and even in professional offices, such as doctors, lawyers; accountants and teachers.


Explain Stewardship accounting in emerging role of accounting?

In earlier times in history, wealthy people employed `stewards' to manage their property. These stewards rendered an account of their stewardship to their owners periodically. This notion lies at the root of financial reporting even today which essentially involves the orderly recording of business transactions, commonly known as 'book-keeping'. Indeed the accounting concepts and procedures, in use today for systematic recording of business transactions have their origin in the practices em-ployed by merchants in Italy during the 15th century. The Italian method which specifically began to be known as `double entry book-keeping' was adopted by other European countries during the 19th century. Stewardship accounting, in a sense, is associated with the need of business owners to keep records of their transactions, the property and tools they owned, debts they owed, and the debts others owed them.

Explain the reasons of the popularity of double entry system?

Double entry system owes its origin to an Italian merchant named Luco Pacioli who wrote the first book entitled 'Depository Computies et Scrituris' on double entry accounting in the year 1494. We have seen earlier that every business transaction has two aspects, i.e., when we receive something we give something we give something else in return. For example, when we purchase goods for cash, we receive goods and give cash in return; similarly in a credit sale of goods, goods are given to the customer and the customer becomes debtor for the amount of goods sold to him. This method of writing every transaction in two accounts is known as Double Entry System of Accounting.
