Au Canada, le terme «frais généraux» est souvent utilisé, abusivement, pour désigner les coûts indirects de production, de même que certains coûts directs autres que les matières premières et la main-d'œuvre directe. Ce terme convient mieux pour désigner les charges ne se rattachant à aucune fonction particulière ou que l'on ne peut classer dans une catégorie donnée. 2, record 1, French, - co%C3%BBts%20indirects
