"Tell me how you measure me and I'll tell you how I behave" Eliyahu Goldratt
Cost accounting is the single most pervasive belief utilized in business the world over. It's been programmed into ERPs, written into the rules of GAAP, and its use has been encouraged (now required) by the US Government. At the time of its development in the 19th and early 20th centuries it ushered in a revolution of new business practices and was heralded as THE solution for a wide variety of problems, from corporate profits to market instability.
However, the cure is worse than the disease. Cost accounting is fundamentally flawed and its use can lead to severely damaging effects. Cost accounting distorts financial results and leads managers to make decisions which are not aligned with the interests of the company.
All of it is by the book. All of it is standard practice. All of it will distort the decisions you make.
