COST AUDIT
Ô  
 
 
 
6Consumers, in a liberal economy, are vulnerable to practices such as monopoly or
predatory pricing.
6 Curbing these practices requires a harmonized and authentic cost database

6Sector producing items of mass use in loss making companies need to be subject to
thorough Cost Audit.

6 Cost Audit should be taken up both in letter and spirit. Cost audit in not punitive in
nature, it is rather suggestive and derives its force from the maxim, µprevention is better
then cure¶. It identifies areas of
1. Weakness
2. Invisible losses and unaccounted inefficiencies which ultimately result in
adverse effects on the financial health of an organization.
Cost audit helps in getting early warning signal for remedial actions.

whether the client is one with which the auditor wishes to associate and to
document a consideration of the issues influencing the decision to accept or
reject an invitation to act as auditor. 2he prospective client evaluation
