Module summary

The module is a Level 6 30 credit core module which is concerned with the strategic, long-run decisions facing the firm.  Specifically it deals with the Income Statement, in terms of revenue earning and cost reducing, and the Statement of Financial Position, in terms of raising finance and capital investment.
It therefore focuses on the strategic aspects of management accounting and will explore and critically
evaluate management accounting techniques encountered in previous management accounting modules as well as developing students’ knowledge and critical understanding of the theoretical models, analytical methods and practical aspects of corporate financial decision making in a competitive business environment and a dynamic capital market.

Module aims:

  1. To apply knowledge, understanding and skills from a strategic standpoint and thereby providing an appropriate foundation for higher studies.
  2. To evaluate financial and non-financial evidence including arguments and assumptions in order to reach objective conclusions.
  3. To develop students’ knowledge and critical understanding of the theoretical models, analytical methods and practical aspects of financial decision making and management accounting in competitive business environments and dynamic capital markets.
  4. To display the accountant’s need to remain innovative and play a pivotal part in the management of change in organisations, which is increasingly becoming a corporate requirement. It also encourages accountants to remind themselves of their ethical and social responsibilities; this is apposite in the light of the continuing series of corporate scandals that has often implicated accountants.
