The article deals with the importance of accounting for costs for the activity of manufacturing enterprises, examines the organization of cost accounting. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the organization of accounting for production costs, as well as to identify specific ways of its further improvement. It is established that there is a need to differentiate the costs of operating activities with their further detail. The importance of cost detailing by species, which provides accuracy and reliability of cost data, contributes to their efficient management. The basic prerequisites for rational organization of cost accounting have been formed and the directions for increasing the level of management of expenditure implementation have been determined. Based on the primary cost accounting documents, the required amounts are calculated by displaying them with the relevant invoices. Formation of information on production costs is carried out on accounts 23 «Production», 91 «General production costs», 92 «Administrative expenses», as well as on account 90 «Cost of sales». The debit of these accounts accounts for the costs, the loan – their debiting. It is also determined that accounting for production costs is one of the most important elements of enterprise accounting. It is because of this improvement in accounting that much attention must be paid to this area. In improving the accounting method for the cost segment, we offer improvements in three ways: 1. developed a fragment of the Work plan of analytical accounts for synthetic accounts 91 «General production costs», 92 «Administrative expenses», 2. Improvement of the method of «accounting and double entry» of conducting standard accounting transactions using the proposed analytics, 3. The Balance Sheet and Reporting method has been improved by improving Form No. 2 «Financial Statements (Income Statement)» by introducing additional lines. Part of the proposed analytical accounts to the accounts 91 and 92 is indicated in Accounting provisions (standards) 16 «Expenses», however, in the Plan of accounts this analytics is not spelled out, supplementing them and grouping them, we offer second and third order subaccounts for the expense accounts 91 and 92 The existence of these subaccounts will be advisable, since it allows a clear division of production costs for each cost item, thanks to such detailing it will be possible to improve their management system, which in turn will allow to make cost reductions for specific items. Thus, through the above suggestions for improving the cost accounting method, these elements of the reporting form become more comprehensive and understandable, and also improve the quality of accounting.
