Explain the concept of responsibility accounting

Answer Posted / Prakhar Narain

Responsibility Accounting is a system that assigns specific cost responsibilities to departments or individuals within an organization. This allows for more accurate and detailed tracking of costs, as each department or individual is accountable for their specific costs. It helps in decision-making, budgeting, performance evaluation, and cost control. The main idea is to make it clear who is responsible for what costs and revenues, enabling better management control.
