ABSTRACT
The study came up as we examine their reasons why greater number of companies engaged in the same cost accounting techniques, though they may be production of different or similar type of production of different or similar type, of product, when a particular technique is chosen, it takes care of inflationary trend saves time and also help to standardize the cost raw material. When effectively and efficiency and efficiently applied, there will be effective use of material, time and resources and the cost of unit of a product can be ascertained at a given period of time. In absence of cost accounting techniques in an industry, it will be found very difficult to know the cost of the unit of product; it was not easy to investigate why some line of product or similarly line of product. All this were carried out through discussions, textbooks written by experienced individuals in the field of cost accounting coupled with interviews and questionnaire observation made by the research. The population is the sample size applied is 86. The data analysis method used is chi-square. In recommendation, the study set out to appraise the cost accounting techniques in Nigerian industries, this project is focused on the procedures by which it the company applied will actualize the objective of their company .
