Costing and budgeting are two fundamental financial management processes that organizations use to plan, control, and monitor their financial resources.
Costing refers to the process of estimating and allocating expenses associated with producing a product, providing a service, or carrying out a project. The objective is to determine the total cost involved in each stage of the production or service delivery process.
