Cost Accounting

	Cost Accounting by Steven Bragg


	Commentary:
	The practicing accountant usually keeps an old college-level cost accounting book on the shelf, because there are no cost accounting books designed for the professional. This 662-page, 40-chapter book fulfills the need by covering every conceivable topic that the accountant could need. There is also an ongoing case study, spanning most chapters, showing how a hypothetical company deals with a variety of cost accounting issues.

	Content:
	Purpose of cost accounting Costing systems Data collection Costing methodologies Operational analysis		Managing costs Pricing issues Cost strategy Inventory valuation Cost accounting fraud
