Abstract

In today’s global competitive environment the sustainability of the enterprises is dependent on producing high quality products with low cost and responding market changes more quickly. In to- day’s world economy in which multinational enterprises are pon- derable, small and medium sized enterprises have to keep up with global competition rules. Since today’s enterprises have a variety of products, customers and marketing channels and the production processes and the loading of production factors used in these proc- esses are changed, traditional cost accounting systems are not able to provide the information required by managers in decision mak- ing. Activity-based costing is designed in order to make up for the deficiencies of the traditional costing systems. In this study, activity- based costing is investigated by means of cost and management accounting and its usage in SMEs is discussed.
