The aim of the cost management subject is to introduce students with mutual relationships between financial, cost (in house), managerial accounting and cost management. Cost management acts as independent informative tool of the firm’s internal management. It includes classical costing procedures for recording of the internal events, which truly happened in the past, as well as new attitudes ensuring information for managers, i.e. oriented to the future. The Cost management follows the financial and cost accounting, where costs become the decisive element of the firm’s economics. The analysis of costs‘ behaviour and mathematical calculations are important for managerial decision. Conversion of cost accounting to management accounting concludes the general view on mutual connection of the economic information system. The Const Management first of all provides information for management and namely for decision making.
