Trang 3Stemming from the above situation, the author conducts research
on the topic: "Completing accounting of cost and price management
at irrigation construction companies in Vietnam" as a thesis
topic Accounting of cost and price management is not a new topic and many authors have conducted research However, no other author has conducted any similar research in relation to the management function
of managers at irrigation construction companies in Vietnam
2 Thesis research purposes
2.1 Theoretically
Based on researching specific business production activities
of irrigation construction enterprises, the author systematized the theory
of cost and price management accounting in construction enterprises in the direction of focusing on studying the contents of the cost and price management accounting in term of relationship with the management function of the administrator, studying the cost and price management accounting to offer the most appropriate solutions to the irrigation construction enterprises
2.2 Practically
Describing, analyzing and assessing the current situation of economic cost and price management accounting applied at the construction companies of irrigation works to point out what has been
Trang 42 done, what has not in the production cost and price management accounting at these companies
3 Thesis object and scope
3.1 objecti
The object of study is defined as: Production cost and price
management accounting of irrigation construction works at irrigation construction companies in Vietnam As a contractor for irrigation works for the investor ( excluding the investor who has established the PMU)
3.2 Scope
3 2.1 Content
In order not to be distracted, the author focused on researching production cost and price management accounting of work and work categories in irrigation construction activities, as the contractor
3.2.2 Location
Because irrigation construction companies operate in different geographical areas (Vietnam has 3 regions: North, Central and South) but they have similar operating characteristics of the ones operating in the construction irrigation sector And there is no big difference production cost and price management accounting Thus, our thesis should only survey irrigation construction companies in the North as samples
Trang 53 Survey by investigation method, interview method
4.2 Data processing
For secondary data , after collecting the classification, sort the
data in order of priority of importance
For primary data , research process is a combination of
interpretation and inductive, using a number of specific techniques, such as: integration, statistics, analysis, comparison, interview, etc is flexibly used in the thesis
5 The thesis contributions
Theoretically: The thesis focuses on research to clarify
theoretical matters of cost and price management accounting in construction enterprises Based on the the findings of international cost and price management accounting in some typical countries, the thesis helps to draw experiences in cost and price management accounting of Vietnamese construction enterprises
Practically: The thesis has evaluated the advantages, disadvantages and causes of production cost and price management accounting problems and offered suitable feasible solutions, to complete the cost and price management accounting in irrigation construction companies
6 The thesis structure
In addition to the introduction, conclusion, references and appendices, the thesis is divided into 3 chapters:
Chapter 1: General theoretical bases of production cost and price management accounting in construction enterprises
Chapter 2: Current situation of production cost and price management accounting in irrigation construction companies in Vietnam
Trang 64 Chapter 3: Completing the production cost and price management accounting at irrigation construction companies in Vietnam

in construction enterprises: Measuring, calculating the cost of a work
/work category or a specific constructive activity, investigating the implementation of cost norms
c) Factors affecting production cost and price management
accounting in construction enterprises: Objective and subjective
factors
1.2 Irrigational characteristics affecting production cost and price management accounting: Constructive products are individual, valueable Construction time is relatively long To get the construction contract , the companies often have to experience bidding stages
1.3 Determining cost methods
1.3.1 Target costing method (TC) : TC is a cost management
methods used to achieve planned profit
