Content
Students were introduced in MAA703 Accounting for Management to the use of accounting information for management planning, control and decision-making. In particular, students studied a variety of approaches to product costing, and the use of cost data and other accounting information by managers. For example, both cost-volume-profit analysis and the analysis of relevant costs and revenue are techniques used by managers in making decisions that are based on profitability criteria.
MAA744 moves from an essentially short-term, operational perspective to a strategic perspective involving decisions which affect the whole firm in the long term.
