Fail ure to prepare financial statements Oftener than once a year has long been recognized by accountants as in every way risky and unbusinesslike. Continual driving for the Objective of analytical costs, in the effort to Obtain a reliable basis for proper selling prices, has largely been responsible for the development Of methods Of assembling costs which have now become live and valuable mediums Of managerial control.
