| | Indirect costs are all costs that are not direct costs. | | | Full cost accounting and resources management (budgeting) is a concept that ties all agency costs (including Civil Service personnel costs) to major activities (programs) and budgets, accounts, reports and manages programs with a full cost perspective. | | | Full costing also supports full disclosure and reporting on programs and an improved matching of costs with related program performance. |

| | Full cost accounting is a method of pricing infrastructure and services to reflect all lifecycle costs, including variable operating and capital replacement costs. Unless such costs are built into infrastructure budgets, necessary maintenance and upgrading can be easily deferred. | | | Full cost accounting and disclosure of public service costs can make significant contributions to improving public services, making capital budgeting more transparent, enhancing the government’s fiscal position and making more effective use of revenue measures — including user charges — to fund priority investments in creating and maintaining public capital assets. | | | Full cost accounting and user charges bring a number of implementation challenges. For example, determining the marginal costs for the many services that vary by season, time of day and geographical region is a complex exercise. |

| | Full Cost Accounting from an Environmental Perspective – Exectutive Summary |
| | From an environmental perspective, full cost accounting is the integration of an entity's internal costs (including all internal environmental costs) with the external costs relating to the impacts of the entity's activities, operations, products and/or services on the environment. | | | GAAP-based accounting and reporting has inherent limitations because it is, by design, entity centred; it depends on existing legal and market-place concepts of transactions, ownership and obligations; and it has a past, not future, orientation to transaction recognition in general and to cost determination in particular. | | | For example, "full cost accounting" is different from "full cost pricing," but many assume they are synonymous. |

| | Full Cost Accounting in Environmental Decision-Making |
| | The costs of conducting a FCA analysis and any other costs that are incurred during the decisionmaking process are called transaction costs. | | | For example, external costs occur when there are no laws stating that the person who fills the wetland must compensate for lost wetland-related activities, and private costs occur when there are laws or regulations governing the use of a resource because business operators recognize them as another cost of running their operation. | | | The term "full cost accounting" (FCA) is used in a variety of settings. |

Full Cost Accounting (FCA) is a financial tool that provides a systematic approach to identifying, summing, and reporting the actual costs of solid waste management in local government. | | | The report can serve as resources to others who are considering using FCA and provides practical information on issues such as the value of FCA in providing cost savings and making costs apparent to citizens and elected officials, as well as obstacles that may be encountered during implementation. |
