Description

This unit examines the extent to which an organisation's strategy determines the design of the management accounting system and the use of management accounting information. Strategy is initially discussed as a topic in its own right, before examining how various strategic choices affect management accounting techniques such as: activity based accounting, variance analysis, performance evaluation and capital budgeting. Case studies are used extensively to teach this unit.
