The correct statement about cost accounting is that it is not constrained by GAAP. The Option A is correct.
Cost accounting is a branch of accounting that focuses on recording, analyzing and managing the costs associated with producing goods or services within an organization.
Unlike financial accounting that follows GAAP to report financial information to external stakeholders, cost accounting is primarily used for internal purposes. This means that it is not constrained by GAAP because it doesn't have to adhere to the same set of rules and regulations that financial accounting does.
The cost accounting is tailored to meet the specific needs of an organization, helping it make informed decisions about pricing, production and resource allocation based on cost data. Therefore, the Option A is correct.
