What are Cost Centres?

In an organization, cost centers are specific departments, divisions, or units that incur costs as part of their operations. Cost centers are responsible for incurring expenses but do not directly generate revenue. The primary purpose of cost centers is to track and allocate costs, analyze spending patterns, and evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of each department's expenditure.

Cost centers help organizations understand and manage their expenses, improve cost efficiency, and make data-driven decisions. They provide valuable insights into departmental costs and contribute to overall financial management and control within the organization.
