Course detail
Cost management
FP-KrnlPAcad. year: 2018/2019
The course focuses on the value processes conected with particular company's units, then it focuses on budgeting and budgets (rigid and flexible), where students should gain theoretical and practical skills to handle budgets, long-term, short-term budgets and overhead costs budget. The core of the course is costing, namely costing theory and practice of costing - business costs in relation to the cost of individual performances, transformation of costs in the budgeting and accounting (generic costs) and the calculation structure (direct and indirect costs) and the capacitance structure (variable and fixed costs). They go through both traditional and modern approaches in calculations.
