MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING AND CONTROL

ACC3MAC

2016

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

The aim of this subject is to further develop students' understanding of basic cost accounting skills to include knowledge of more advanced management accounting processes and techniques such as sustainability and environmental management accounting, strategic planning and budgeting, standard costing, capital investment decision tools, managing and reporting performance, managing suppliers and customers, managing cost and quality, and performance measurement and incentive systems. Created in a Blended Learning model the subject uses the classroom (workshop) time for activities that benefit the most from direct interaction and videotaped lectures ahead of time so the student can watch on their own time, place, path or pace. The workshop facilitator places an emphasis on empowering students with the skills and knowledge required to make the most of the online material and independent study time, guiding students toward the most meaningful experience possible.
