FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
BUO5FMA
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject provides students with a critical appreciation of the role and functions of accounting within organisations, and in the broader context within which organisations operate. These functions include the use of both financial and management accounting: in decision-making; for reporting; and to meet the accountability expectations of various parties. Adopting a multifaceted view of accounting, the subject supplements a traditional technical "preparer" perspective with user, organisational/managerial, professional, and societal perspectives on accounting.
