- Understand and evaluate budgets and their impact on long and short term business decisions.
- Critically analyse financial statements using effective strategies and apply accountancy information for informed managerial decision making.
- A guide to the topics you will explore in this subject will be provided in your study materials.
This subject is focused on how to use accounting and financial information for decision-making purposes. It is designed for the leader/manager who will be using, rather than producing accounting and financial information. This subject also addresses the various types of financial decisions that leaders must make, and the strategies necessary to anticipate the alternatives, evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each and recognise the tradeoffs inherent in each alternative. The objective of this subject is for students to learn how to apply accounting and finance theory and principles to the analysis of important business problems, further developing their skills at using numerical analysis and research to support a line of argument.
