It is important to mention that in Mexico the activity-based systems are not regulated by the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants and not even by the rules of the Secretariat of Property and Public Credit; this is why it is imperative for the enterprises that have the ABC system to share the information on general accounting and different costing systems that are accepted by the rules of the country.
