    There are no statutory requirements at all for Management Accounting – management accounting is to help management and they can do whatever they want.

    For financial accounts, inventory must be valued at the full cost of production including the absorption of fixed costs of production. This is a requirement of International Accounting Standard number 2 (which is not a statutory requirement).
