Subject Description

This subject is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills to use management accounting information to inform business decisions. The emphasis is on understanding and interpreting management accounting information but to do this, students are required to generate the information as well. Students will gain an appreciation for how costing information is generated, the underlying assumption behind and limitations of such information and how to interrogate and interpret the information. In addition to the traditional costing functions of management accounting, the forward planning and control aspects of management accounting information are also explored. Students are required to apply numerical and analytical skills to budgeting, planning and control.
