Uncontrollable cost is that cost which is not in descretion of management to be controlled. A good example of an uncontrollable cost is insurance. A manager who runs a department on the factory floor does not have control over the liability insurance that the company buys.
A controlable cost is a cost a manager can control. For example, if I am in charge of HR at a company, the dollars I spend on advertising open positions is a controlable cost. An uncontrollable cost, would be, the price my business pays for electricity.
Controllable costs are costs that a manager or department has authority and responsibility over, such as direct material cost. With uncontrollable costs, management has no control over the cost or when they must be paid, such as liability insurance.

1.11.5 By Controllability- Costs here may be classified into controllable and uncontrollable costs. (a) Controllable costs - These are the costs which can be influenced by the action of a specified member of an undertaking. A business organisation is usually divided into a number of responsibility centres and an executive heads each such centre. Controllable costs incurred in a particular responsibility centre can be influenced by the action of the executive heading that responsibility centre. For example, Direct costs comprising direct labour, direct material, direct expenses and some of the overheads are generally controllable by the shop level management. (b) Uncontrollable costs - Costs which cannot be influenced by the action of a specified member of an undertaking are known as uncontrollable costs. For example, expenditure incurred by, say, the Tool Room is controllable by the foreman incharge of that section but the share of the tool-room expenditure which is apportioned to a machine shop is not to be controlled by the machine shop foreman The distinction between controllable and uncontrollable costs is not very sharp and is sometimes left to individual judgement. In fact no cost is uncontrollable; it is only in relation to a particular individual that we may specify a particular cost to be either controllable or uncontrollable
