Manufacturers and processors across the continent rely on standard costs to price products and control the shop floor, yet many teams set standards poorly and never investigate the variances that result. This course equips cost accountants and production finance staff to set credible standards, calculate material, labour and overhead variances, and turn variance reports into operational action that protects margins.
