cost account is defined as follows (context it):


Explanation:
"Cost Account (C/A). A management control point at which actual costs can be accumulated and compared to budgeted cost of work performed. A cost account is a natural control point for cost/schedule planning and control since it represents the work assigned to one responsible organizational element on one contract work breakdown structure (CWBS) element."

For the rest, I believe the proper rendering would be "analytical".
