Advanced Management Accounting

Code:

AC302

Convenor:

DR Ekililu Salifu

Summary:

This module builds on the concepts and techniques of management accounting introduced in AC107 and AC220 or AC 208. Management accounting may be seen as a way of providing information in three main areas: costing, decision-making, and planning and control. The emphasis of this module will mainly be on the last two areas (i.e., decision making and planning and control). In reality, however, it is often difficult to separate any one area from the other two. For example, standard costing provides costing information which is then used as a tool for planning and control.

This module is delivered at University of Reading UK, University of Reading Malaysia and Beijing Institute of Technology.
