This information is then used for decision making. Variance analysis is valuable because managers identify the reasons for the variances and use that information to improve future strategies or operating plans. Investigating Variances In a diagnostic control system managers throughout an organization regularly monitor variances to determine whether operations are proceeding according to plan. Managers perform detailed investigations only for variances they consider important. Importance is decided in two ways. First the variances that will be calculated and monitored need to be chosen. Second for variances that are measured and monitored managers decide whether a particular amount of variance is large enough or consistent enough to justify investigation. Conclusions and Actions LO2 Describe a standard costing system and how it is used Standard Costs Standard cost is the cost managers expect to incur to produce goods or services under operating plan assumptions. Key assumptions include the .
