Synopsis

ACC203 Managerial Accounting focuses on the use of accounting information by internal stakeholders (i.e. managers) of an organisation. Accounting information has decision-facilitating and decision-influencing roles in an organisation. This course focuses on the use of management accounting tools and techniques to produce information to facilitate and influence managerial decisions. For example, many managerial decisions (such as production, marketing and pricing decisions) require accurate cost information; and various costing approaches will be introduced in this course. This course also introduces students to the preparation of budgets for planning and control.
