COURSE INFORMATION

This course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts of management accounting. It complements concepts covered in Financial Accounting by focusing on the accounting functions internal to the organization. Management Accounting is concerned with the data and techniques used in the decision making process. This includes the analysis and accounting for costs, exposure to cost behaviour (cost-volume-profit), the contribution approach, variance analysis, differential cash flows, and budgeting. The course will also discuss the most recent developments such as activity-based costing.
