What is project accounting, and what are its scopes? As simple as it sounds, it is accounting for an individual project that an organisation takes on. In specific industries, operational activities are performed on a project basis, where the need for Project Accounting exists. Financial transactions related to managing a project, including costs, billing, and revenue, all come under the scope of Project Accounting. Project managers extensively use project accounting to inform them of the status of direct costs, overhead costs, and any revenues in a specific project. Financial reports are generated by using these figures by project accountants with the help of project accounting software. Project managers then use these reports to determine if they need to adjust their budget and work breakdown structure.
How does project accounting differ from standard accounting? Standard cloud accounting deals with accounting for a company, usually on regular intervals like quarterly or annually. Traditional business accounting considers all expenses, revenues, budgets across an organisation, and every project it undertakes. Project accounting, whereas explained earlier, is just concerned with financial transactions related to managing a project, including costs, billing, and revenue. It is performed on a project-by-project basis.
