Overview:

Activity-Based Concepts (ABC) are very powerful techniques for creating valid economic cost models of organizations. By using the lens of ABC/M, organizations of all sizes and types can develop the valid economic models required for their executives and managers to make value-creating decisions and take actions to improve their productivity and resource use - and ultimately to better serve their constituencies. This paper discusses the pressures for improved cost accounting in government, misapprehensions and other sources of resistance against ABC/M, and successful applications of this system in the public sector to date.
