R345,00 VAT incl.
This practical session unpacks the full landscape of cost classification and allocation methods used in financial management. You’ll explore how costs behave (fixed, variable, semi-variable), how they function across departments (production, admin, selling, finance), and how they relate to decision-making (sunk, relevant, opportunity, incremental). We’ll cover traceability, controllability, timing (product vs period costs), and the difference between standard and actual costs. You’ll also learn how to allocate indirect costs fairly across products, services, or departments using the right bases. Whether you’re advising clients or managing internal budgets, this session gives you the clarity, structure, and language you need to work with cost data confidently and accurately.
