Irrespective of your business or industry or government department, knowing your costs and what drives them is key. Globalisation, tightening budgets, increased competition and the rising percentage of indirect costs means that business needs to get even smarter and better understand itself even more than before. To this end, Activity Based Costing (ABC) is a powerful tool in your business armoury. Strategic Activity Based Costing provides the quality data on which informed decisions can be based; Value Identification and then Value Capture being the ultimate objective.
