· Collaborate with Production, Engineering, Procurement, and Quality teams to identify cost-saving opportunities and process improvements.

· Ensure compliance with accounting standards, company policies, and relevant regulatory requirements (e.g., Vietnamese Accounting Standards or IFRS).
· Develop and maintain cost accounting systems and controls within the ERP environment.
· Analyze the impact of production changes, machine efficiency, scrap rates, and energy consumption on overall product costs.
