Abstract

The article is aimed at researching the essence of costs for the quality of production, their importance and necessity, the reliability of reflection in the accounting system, which will ensure the efficiency of managerial decision-making and the introduction of a cost management system at the enterprise, including in terms of costs for the production quality. Approaches to the essence of quality costs are analyzed, researches of scientists on the need for such costs in the cost management system of enterprise and the production quality management system are substantiated. Approaches to the feasibility of classification of quality costs on the basis of requests from the managers of different levels of management are considered, as well as the formation of their nomenclature and catalogue in terms of costs for quality provision and for the correction of rejects. The need to introduce a system of accounting for the production quality as an informational component of making effective managerial decisions is substantiated. The researchers’ proposals for displaying quality costs in the accounting system are examined. A generalized algorithm of the process of organization of accounting for costs of production quality is proposed, which provides for: setting tasks for accounting costs for quality; determination of objects of accounting and classification of such costs, methods of assessing the costs of production quality, system of accounts; development of a complex of documentary support. The components of each stage of this algorithm are substantiated. It is determined that the efficiency of the quality costs management system depends on reliable accounting and analytical provision at all stages of the economic process of their occurrence, accumulation, distribution and write-off.
