Interview Questions Back to Top

I am an experienced accountant, having spent twenty years in this field. I have gained lots of insight and knowledge, which I can apply here to better your organization. This job’s description also fits my expertise, which is an added advantage.

2.    What Do You Understand by Costing?

Costing can be defined as the process of ascertaining costs. It, therefore, refers to the technique of ascertaining costs. It encompasses all the principles applied in the determination of the cost of products and services. Different types of costing exist depending on the industry. These are historical, absorption, marginal, and standard costing.

3.    Define the Term Cost Accounting

Cost accounting is the applying of accounting and costing principles to determine costs. It also refers to the analysis of savings or expenses and comparing them with previous expenses or standards. It uses different costing methods and techniques to classify, record, and appropriately allocate expenses to determine the price of products and services and their relations to sales values. It aims at determining profitability.

4.    Mention Three Main Reasons for Cost Accounting

Cost accounting plays three major roles. First, it is used to determine the cost of a product through different costing methods. Its second use is to determine the selling price of a given product, which helps the business recover the production cost and earn some profit. Lastly, it is used to analyze and classify the cost of production. This helps the business know what went to waste and how it can improve as time goes by.

5.    In Your Experience, How Does Cost Accounting Help in Price Determination

Cost accounting plays a huge role in making revenue decisions, such as pricing new products and the increase or reduction of sale prices. It also comes in handy in making short-term and long-term mix decisions.

The data obtained can also be used to combine different factors used in the business model for maximum profitability.

6.    How Does Your Work as A Cost Accountant Help Businesses?

Through cost accounting, the business obtains lots of data used to determine whether a venture is profitable or not. They can either choose to drop it or improve on key areas for maximum profitability. It also helps businesses minimize wastages and thus widen the profit margin.

Lastly, this job reveals the cost of all the possible alternatives, allowing the business to settle on one that seems advantageous.

7.    Does Your Job Have Disadvantages? Please Mention the Downsides of Cost Accounting

We cannot ignore the fact that cost accounting is not a full-proof system, given that it has developed over time thanks to different theories and practices. It has its faults, just like any other branch of accounting. The main one is lack of uniformity as it does not conform to any uniform procedure.

Its scope of application is also limited as it is mostly suitable for large businesses. Lastly, several conventions and practices of cost valuation exist, and therefore its determinations are mostly estimates.

8.    How Can You Advise Organizations That Want to Install a Costing System?

Such organizations should come up with systems that will satisfy the needs of their different concerns.  They should also consider several principles as follows. First, there should be little disturbance of the current organization of the unit. The system should also be introduced gradually and be easy to operate. Lastly, the staff should be involved, given that the success of any system is pegged to them.

9.    How Do You Ensure That a Costing System is Efficient and Useful?

This begins in the installation stage. I will first ensure that my organization installs a system that blends in with its processes. Afterward, I will ensure that all the reports and analyses from the system have relevant information and are produced at timely intervals. I will also ensure that the system produces information in the relevant form and of high levels of accuracy.

10. What Do You Understand by a Cost Centre?

What normally comes into many people’s minds whenever one mentions a cost center is a place or machine. However, this can either be a location, person, or equipment that ascertains costs and uses the data for cost control.

The business is usually divided into relevant parts where costs can be conveniently charged. These are cumulatively known as cost centers. When coming up with a cost center, the business may consider how work is divided in the organization, availability of information, communication aids, and the relevant management policies.

11. Now That You Have Defined a Cost Centre, What Are Some of Its Utilities?

In my experience, a cost center has two main utilities. First, it rolls out responsibilities. The manager of the cost center controls all the costs in the particular center. He is always expected to account for any cost escalation or wastages.
