 <title>Managerial Cost Accounting Practices: Implementation and Use Vary Widely across 10 Federal Agencies</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>In the past 16 years, a number of laws, accounting standards,
system requirements, and related guidance have emphasized the	 
need for cost information in the federal government, establishing
requirements and accounting standards for managerial cost	 
accounting (MCA) information. In light of these requirements, GAO
was asked to determine how federal agencies generate MCA	 
information and how government managers use that information to  
support their decisions and provide accountability. Since 2005,  
GAO has reviewed and reported on MCA practices at 10 large	 
civilian agencies resulting in five reports. This report brings  
the overall observations of these studies together in one place.</abstract>
