Abstract

The author has selected the subject of Contractor's Cost Accounts because of the widely divergent opinions of those men who have written the few articles and books that are to be found on the subject, and because of the importance of this phase of accounting to the Contractor.

The author has, in his opinion, found most of the material written to be useless to the contractor because, while theoretically correct from an accounting standpoint, it is not practical enough to be put to use. There is either some essential part lacking, there is no check against error, or, as in most cases investigated, the data desired is only secured through a round-about method.

The author has incorporated in this thesis his own knowledge and experience gained through his association as timekeeper, cost clerk, or inspector on the projects listed in the Bibliography. He has, in his opinion, devised a method of securing and tabulating cost data that is in accordance with correct accounting principles, and is both complete and practical.
