The study is dealt with an important topic related to one of the developments that occurred in the modern business environment (which represents one of the strategies to achieve competitive advantage) due to its importance and its relationship to the accounting work. A set of areas has been identified through which work in the e-commerce environment can be used to reduce product costs in economic units, which can include reducing: industrial costs, marketing costs, administrative and financing costs. A set of accounting methods have also been identified that can contribute to achieving the objectives of the cost management strategy, mainly represented in the possibility of reducing the cost of products, which can contribute to achieving a competitive advantage for the economic unit.
