Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The aim of the course is to build upon prior study to further develop the student's appreciation of accounting practice. Through the use of class presentation, group work, and independent study, the course attempts to foster a knowledge and understanding of key theories within the discipline and the ability to critically appraise them.
The key technical issues are as follows:
- To develop an awareness of the organisational and social context of management accounting.
- To develop the ability to deal with the complexities of performance measurement and motivation in a multi-divisional context.
- To critically examine current management accounting techniques and practices.
- To be able to analyse the effectiveness of alternative control techniques. |
