Abstract
Recently, Domestic public construction projects are experiencing a great deal of disputes because of the growing uncertainty about the criteria for calculating the prolongation cost. In addition, researchers have been studying various systems and proper cost estimates in an effort to reduce the uncertainty of these systems and the occurrence of disputes. However, there is no standard yet for social consensus. Meanwhile, The study on the classification system according to the recognition standard of accounting has been systematically studied. As a result, the concepts of accrual and cash basis are defined separately. The purpose of this study is to verify the possibility of applying the concept of 'accrual basis' to the Standard for calculation of prolongation cost. Therefore, As a result of analyzing the occurrence pattern of Job-site overhead cost, it is confirmed that actual costs can not be calculated by the cash-basis method. In particular, the implications of the necessity of the accrual-basis method should be more strictly indicated in the case of items such as indirect labor costs and welfare benefits. In addition, the contractor 's claim report and the appraisal report were examined. As a result, it was confirmed that the calculation situations of prolongation costs are biased to the cash-basis method. In this way, it is suggested that necessary to supplement the calculation standard of the actual costs from the point of view of accrual basis.
