"The Cost Accountant" is a comprehensive guide for a cost accountant who is starting their career in the field of cost accounting. It is the result of 30 years of professional experience in the subject in various industries. Its goal is to focus on the issues that cost accountants actually face in practice, rather than theory. It also pays attention to problems that are not addressed in existing literature, either because they are considered assumptions or because they have never been encountered.

Topics such as activity-based costing and sensitivity analysis are presented in a practical manner, so that their application in real-life scenarios is possible.

The Cost Accountant emphasizes the extensive presentation of material and labor costs because they are currently the most significant part of production costs and the only variable part without any doubts. Other authors consider these costs more or less given, while in practice this is not the case.

On the contrary, the Cost Accountant does not include references to topics of analytical accounting, as these have been presented in an exhaustive manner, especially in Greek literature.

We welcome new cost accountants on this exciting journey and wish them all the best for the future.
