WHAT IT IS ?
It is the detailed maintenance & checking of the
cost in relation to any activity of business -
Its origin
Its recording
Its maintenance
Its justification
AND to arrive at Total Cost Sales Price Profit

As a whole it is a study of the system, technique and to verify
their correctness and to determine actual cost of any product
or services.

Objectives of cost audit include the determination and control of
cost together with providing data to arrive at decisions on various
matters, such as operational efficiency.

Data generation and capturing shall be industry specific.
WHY ?
Every one will agree that we are at the verge of
exhausting our natural resources. Technocrats do
conserve them by process refinements and
scientists by innovations. However, the actual
effect of such efforts were not being recorded
systematically so as to increase the profit of an
enterprise by best industrial engineering
processes and to conserve the resources
especially as to when we know in few years we
might not have coal and oil.
Hence it is a need to dig down to cost and
optimize it, rather than chasing revenueit is a
time for the survival of the fittest.
OBJECTIVES

From the perspective of management:
Cost audit detects correct cost that provides opportunity to quote better and increases
competitiveness in the market and enhances efficiency.

.
From the perspective of shareholders:
Cost audit ensures that the valuation of closing stock and work-in-progress are
correct, hence helps in the computation of more accurate profit figures.

From the perspective of the government:
Increased profit means increased government exchequer
Conservation of resources by way of reduction in wastage
Higher productivity and higher GDP & PCI

From the perspective of customers:
Customers may obtain more benefit if the cost is reduced due to effective control.

The said Rules are applicable to all companies engaged in production,
processing, manufacturing and mining activities as defined under
Rules 2(j), 2(k), 2(l) or 2(o) respectively and where:

a) the aggregate value of net worth as on the last date of the immediately
preceding financial year exceeds five crores of rupees; or

b) the aggregate value of the turnover made by the company from sale or
supply of all products or activities during the immediately preceding
financial year exceeds twenty crores of rupees; or

c) the companys equity or debt securities are listed or are in the process of
