Within the procurement process of a company, different aspects are involved that must be considered for its correct control and management.
A purchase involves logistical costs, which are the expenses incurred to place the product either local or imported, in the possession of the company, such as freight, insurance, duties and taxes, transport, hauling, storage, among others.
The expenses involved in this procurement process are transformed into costs as they are incorporated into a company’s operating process. Therefore, knowing the real cost is of great importance for making decisions and perform financial analyses in terms of measuring yields, as well as operational analyses for the correct valuation of inventories.
The Problem
Companies have different approaches in term of cost distribution which leads to incorrect accounting records. Regardless of the costing methodology, an improper allocation of costs directly affects the value assigned to the product.
The Implications
Not being able to rely on your accounting records may cause a wrong decision of strategies and does not reflect the real financial situation of the company.
