Current cost accounting can be an effective device. It is currently viewed with suspicion by many companies, however, who believe it is overly subject to perceptions and therefore empirically unreliable. However, several key British industries, especially nationalized ones, use the system regularly and with success. The reason that current cost accounting appeals to so few companies is probably because many approached it with unrealistic expectations.
