Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content
This paper emphasises the skills involved in everyday practice of management accounting. It develops skills in problem solving, including the use of quantitative analysis and understanding of basic costing techniques. The organisational and behavioural aspects of accounting practices and the ethical constraints within which accountants operate are also contextualised.
Note: Basic operational knowledge of the Excel spreadsheet and its common functions are assumed. Student who are deficient on these aspects should consult with Student Adviosrs at MSC or SAFE for remedial advice. Students undertaking an Accounting major within the BMS degree can take this paper in place of HRMG241 but will be unable to count it towards the Accounting major, and therefore must select an additional Accounting paper for their major.
