Abstract

While a project's scope and schedule expectations have their own set of standards and principles, project cost reporting seems to be an underdeveloped discipline today. In this manuscript, we elaborate on how an absence of organisational cost management oversight has placed project managers in a bind, as project managers are responsible for managing project costs while (in many cases) not knowing what those costs are in relation to the project's scope and schedule. We also discuss the issues of project cost reporting and the implications of how organisations affect the appropriate costing of projects when managerial accounting processes are available to facilitate project costing.
