At its core, this discipline encompasses various techniques aimed at optimising resource allocation, cost control, and performance evaluation. Through meticulous analysis of cost behaviours, such as fixed, variable, and semi-variable costs, managers gain a comprehensive understanding of the financial dynamics driving their business.
