Résumé
Cost of goods sold (COGS) is the carrying value of goods sold during a particular period.
Costs are associated with particular goods using one of the several formulas, including specific identification, first-in first-out (FIFO), or average cost. Costs include all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs that are incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs of goods made by the businesses include material, labor, and allocated overhead. The costs of those goods which are not yet sold are deferred as costs of inventory until the inventory is sold or written down in value.
Many businesses sell goods that they have bought or produced. When the goods are bought or produced, the costs associated with such goods are capitalized as part of inventory (or stock) of goods. These costs are treated as an expense in the period the business recognizes income from sale of the goods.
Determining costs requires keeping records of goods or materials purchased and any discounts on such purchase. In addition, if the goods are modified, the business must determine the costs incurred in modifying the goods. Such modification costs include labor, supplies or additional material, supervision, quality control, and use of equipment. Principles for determining costs may be easily stated, but application in practice is often difficult due to a variety of considerations in the allocation of costs.
Cost of goods sold may also reflect adjustments. Among the potential adjustments are decline in value of the goods (i.e., lower market value than cost), obsolescence, damage, etc.
When multiple goods are bought or made, it may be necessary to identify which costs relate to which particular goods sold. This may be done using an identification convention, such as specific identification of the goods, first-in-first-out (FIFO), or average cost. Alternative systems may be used in some countries, such as last-in-first-out (LIFO), gross profit method, retail method, or a combinations of these.

Throughput accounting
Throughput accounting (TA) is a principle-based and simplified management accounting approach that provides managers with decision support information for enterprise profitability improvement. TA is relatively new in management accounting. It is an approach that identifies factors that limit an organization from reaching its goal, and then focuses on simple measures that drive behavior in key areas towards reaching organizational goals. TA was proposed by Eliyahu M. Goldratt as an alternative to traditional cost accounting.
Stock
Pour une entreprise, les stocks représentent les biens achetés, transformés ou à vendre à un moment donné. Le stock représente de manière habituelle, l'ensemble des biens qui interviennent dans le cycle d'exploitation de l'entreprise ou qui peuvent être vendus « en l'état ». Une entreprise peut détenir plusieurs types de stocks tels que : Matière première, Produit en cours de fabrication sous forme de sous-ensemble ou d’élément complet, Produit manufacturé prêt à être vendu, ou à être utilisé dans la chaine de fabrication, Produits "défectueux" ou obsolète devant être "mis à jour" ou réparé.
Cost accounting
Le cost accounting (littéralement la comptabilité des coûts) est, en management, le fait de trouver et évaluer les différents processus pouvant être mis en œuvre pour résoudre une même tâche au sein d'une entreprise. Son but est de fournir les informations qui permettront au manager de choisir la méthode la plus appropriée, donc la moins coûteuse et la plus efficace. L'évaluation de ces coûts n'est pas forcément monétaire, elle peut être humaine, matérielle ou encore temporelle. Catégorie:Coût Catégorie:Co
