Abstract

This introductory course covers the main areas required to gain a firm foundation in the subject. Part 1 provides a broad introduction to the nature and purpose of management accounting. Part 2 concerns with identifying cost information and using it to make short-term and medium-term decisions. Part 3 introduces students to costing methods. Part 4 deals with the ways in which management accounting can be used in making plans (budgets) and in trying to ensure that those plans are actually achieved. Part 5 deals with ‘strategic management accounting’. This is an increasingly important area of management accounting that focuses on factors outside the organisation but which have a significant effect on its success. Students will explore some up-to-date and seminal management accounting researches. The course consists of lectures (22 hours) and tutorials (14 hours). The tutorials involve the presentation of seminal and current researches by small groups of students followed by the discussion of these presentations. All course participants also must write a short essay (4000- 5000 signs) in which they will try to solve some problem case by management accounting information application.
