This module extends knowledge of the key concepts and techniques of management accounting, and develops operational research models with applications to management accounting. The module focuses upon aspects of accounting which support the exercise of management control and decision making. A thorough grounding in costing techniques provides the foundation for examination of accounting techniques appropriate to pricing and strategic decision making, cost management, planning and control.
