The article is devoted to the improvement of the cost control system at enterprises of the Defence Industrial Complex (DIC) performing the State Defence Order (SDO). The relevance of the study is determined by the growing requirements for transparency, efficiency, and rational use of financial resources within the framework of public procurement in the defence sector. Traditional cost control systems, based mainly on accounting and self-inspection methods, do not fully meet modern needs, as they fail to ensure a sufficient level of responsiveness to risks, deviations, and inefficiencies in contract execution. The paper proposes a new conceptual and methodological approach that integrates accounting, budgetary, and financial control into a unified system oriented toward compliance with legislation, reliability of financial information, and efficiency of resource allocation. Special attention is paid to the classification of costs incurred in SDO execution, their eligibility for inclusion in fixed contract prices, and their verification in accordance with legal and contractual requirements. The developed methodology introduces intermediate checks of actual expenditures, comparative analysis with planned indicators, and the use of adapted earned value methods for forecasting and decision-making. Practical application of the approach increases the accuracy of price formation, reduces unaccepted costs, and enhances financial sustainability. The results contribute to improving management efficiency and competitiveness of defence enterprises in fulfilling state contracts.
