Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Cost accounting is the basic "tool" for identifying the expenses associated with laboratory operations. A budget is a planning tool that allows the director and manager to visualize the evolution of expenses, assets, liabilities, and revenues over a period of time. It is a quantitative annual plan of activities and programs that helps an organization measure the progress toward its financial goals on a periodic basis. A knowledge of how to develop and understand a budget is essential for every director and manager. |
