Corporate Profile

Background to the formation of the Institute

There is no gainsaying the fact that the need to effectively managed cost in Nigeria has become a major issue. In the past lip service has been paid to the imperativeness of addressing in a strategic manner how to position cost management in the socio-economic and political decision making process.

Cost management has been defined by several experts. Hilton et.al.., (2000) defined Cost management as a philosophy, an attitude and a set of techniques to create more value at lower cost. Cleary (2002) opined that cost management is managing cost including people as an investment in customer value, at a price that reflect profitable business and as a tool for competitive advantage. Omoregie (2000) described effective cost management as the comprehensive appreciation of cost as a vital element with a deliberate effort aimed at ensuring that it is commensurate with the level of activity of an organization. It must be understood that managing cost requires the requisite skill and experience in the art of cost management.
