This module is designed to give a detailed understanding of the accounting techniques appropriate to strategic decision making, planning, and control issues.
This module aims to give students a practical grasp of management accounting techniques, whilst building on prior knowledge learnt during their first year of study.
The module also aims to assist the development of a variety of personal transferable skills by encouraging students to:
- identify and distil the key issues covered by lectures, tutorials and recommended readings
- develop basic information accessing and research skills; discriminate between relevant and irrelevant information for the purposes of decision making; analyse data, apply judgement and solve problems
- communicate effectively both orally and in writing; participate actively in tutorials either by leading discussions or responding to issues raised; and work under pressure and meet deadlines
