Abstract

The organization of logistics in commercial companies has a huge impact on their financial results. However, it is very often associated with high costs. The problem in the management of logistics costs is the lack of information in the financial statements on logistics costs. These costs are included in the form of control accounts which are presented in the income statement. Therefore, in order to know the cost of logistics in the enterprise and manage them, it is necessary to use additional accounts. With information on the cost of logistics in a given period one can enter the appropriate solutions that will lead to their optimization. Effective management of costs and their reduction in various areas of companies management will have a positive impact on one of the most important indicators for assessing the activities of the company, which is profitability. Profitability is the basic information about the business operation. This article aims to show the impact of logistics on the ability of businesses to generate profit.
