Course Information

Introduction

This course focuses on advanced cost control practices used to manage expenses, protect margins, and improve financial performance. It explains how cost control supports both operational efficiency and strategic decision-making.

Participants will examine how costs behave across different business activities and how they can be measured, analysed, and controlled. The course goes beyond basic cost concepts and concentrates on managerial application.

Practical tools are used to show how cost information supports budgeting, performance management, and accountability. Realistic scenarios highlight common cost control failures and how to address them.
