3. Standards — Performance Benchmarks
Setting Standards
Requires joint efforts of accountants, engineers, and other management personnel.
Theoretical standards (ideal standards).
Currently attainable standards (normal standards).
Should be revised when they no longer reflect operating conditions they intended to measure.
Types of Standards
Reviewing and Revising Standards
