Most business managers know the importance of finance in a business but fewer are aware of the potential that management accounting have. It can transform the accounting process into an opportunity to protect, improve, expand and optimise the business.
Business managers look at accounting as merely the process of recording profit and loss. However they should appreciate that management accounting presents to them and their staff with an enormously powerful set of information and tools with which to make critical decisions through the use of product costing, budgetary control systems, and performance evaluation systems for planning, coordinating, and monitoring the performance of a business.
This course will present to you a series of tools that can be used in preparing management accounts and how these management accounts can be best prepared and interpreted.
