projects are normally refers job order costing methods because in individual projects,recording of costs through this method becomes easy (Bennett, Schaltegger andZvezdov, 2013). On the other hand, process costing method is used by those companieswhich are into production of homogeneous products. Bizdaq is required Traditionalaccounting because it could determine how to allocate its funds into differentdepartments after application of this tool. For instance, this method will makes easy inrecording data's related to purchase, supply and selling department separately whichwould support company in deciding proper allocation of funds into these departments.Lean Accounting: This accounting system, applies new techniques to reduce costs ofproduction.

It doesn't distributes all types ofcosts like variable and fixed costs to products or services made by a company.Throughput accounting is a technique which uses performance measure in Theory ofConstraints. Bizdaq would be benefited from the application of these techniques becauseThroughput accounting could support company in maximising profits, cost cutting and reducingexpenses.
