ACCOUNTING FOR MAKING DECISIONS
BUA5FMA
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject provides you 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. Working independently and in groups, you will work on on-line, classroom, and research activities which reflect a multifaceted view of accounting. You will focus primarily on a user perspective, supplemented by the traditional technical preparer perspective, organisational/managerial, professional, and societal perspectives on accounting.
