X-Efficiency

X-efficiency refers to a firm’s ability to use its resources effectively under conditions of competition. Though originally an economic concept, it’s relevant in managerial accounting and performance audits. It highlights the gap between optimal output and real-world inefficiencies caused by mismanagement, slack, or internal control weaknesses.
