Responsibility Accounting
Responsibility accounting is the assignment of
accountability for costs or production results to
those individuals who have the most authority to
influence them.
A cost center is a unit of activity within the factory
to which costs may be practically and equitably
assigned. The manager of a cost center is
responsible for those costs that the manager
controls.
Reporting
Cost and production reports for a cost center
reflect all cost and production data identified
with that center.
The performance report will include only
those costs and production data that the
centers manager can control.
A variance is the favorable or unfavorable
difference between actual costs and budgeted
costs.
