Module Description

This module builds upon the management accounting module. Hence it is centred on the planning and performance of the organisation including the use of technology to assist in the decision-making process. Whereas in management accounting the candidates are aware of the technique in this module they would be asked to not only evaluate techniques but also select the best technique given a situation.

The module also covers the accompanying risks within the business, budgeting, different budgeting systems, techniques, and issues, as well as the different behavioural elements of budgeting. The module then goes on to navigate performance measurement and control placing an emphasis on the significance of financial and non-financial performance measures in management, and on the issues which arise when evaluating performance in divisionalised companies. By the end of the module, the learner gains awareness of the difficulties that arise when external aspects affecting performance are not taken into consideration.
