cost accounting record rules to be rationalised

Tuesday, October 05, 2004

The Ministry of Company Affairs is reviewing the four Cost Accounting Record Rules in order to rationalise them. These rules cover chemicals, caustic soda, soda ash and sulphuric acid. The Ministry is exploring the possibility of merging them in view of the likely changes in the manufacturing process and shift in the accounting methods and policies.
