Many organizations do not have cost accounting systems that are capable of meeting all the internal (management) and external (financial reporting and contract compliance) needs of the organization. The lack of robust systems often is evidenced through inability to accurately model the impact of changes in business volume or to understand and identify non profitable product lines. Contract noncompliance can also result when cost accounting systems are not sufficient to meet contractual obligations.
