Defining the organisation: the process of ABC
Article Abstract:
The Bayside City Council decided to implement an accounting program that uses activity based costing (ABC). The decision to use ABC was the result of having to allocate overhead costs accurately due to requirements imposed on local governments located in Victoria, Australia. The process of implementing ABC by the council yielded several insights, including the need to have a strong communications structure and the advantages of using an ABC software model.
