How do you classify expense by:
1) FUnction
2) Nature
Can someone give some examples?
Thanks!
 
Grouping by nature: grouping together expenses such as depreciation on manufacturing equipment and depreciation on administrative facilities into a single line item called “depreciation” represents grouping by nature of expense.
Grouping by funciton: would be grouping together expenses into a category such as COGS, which would include some salaries, material costs, depreciation, and other direct sales-related expenses.
