Educational Aims of the Module

  • The managerial accounting is the firm’s internal accounting system designed to support the information needs of managers. Unlike financial accounting which focuses on preparing standardized financial statements for external users, managerial accounting supplies managers with information for making effective decisions, planning and controlling firm’s activities.
  • The module introduces students to the major areas of managerial accounting. After covering basic managerial accounting concepts, the module examines cost behaviour and implications of alternative costing approaches.
  • In the final part, the module integrates all covered topics to produce financial projections and use them to make capital investment and debt management decisions.
