Cost Accounting is a branch of accounting and has been developed due to limitations of financial
accounting. Financial accounting is primarily concerned with record keeping directed towards the
preparation of Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet. It provides information regarding the
profit and loss that the business enterprise is making and also its financial position on a particular
date. The financial accounting reports help the management to control in a general way the various
functions of the business but it fails to give detailed reports on the efficiency of various divisions.
