Advanced Managerial Accounting

Open to all candidates

No prerequisites

This course is an intensive introduction to the preparation and interpretation of financial information for investors (external users) and managers (internal users) and to the use of financial instruments to support system and project creation. The course adopts a decision-maker perspective on accounting and finance with the goal of helping students develop a framework for understanding financial, managerial, and tax reports. Also, we will see how cost-volume-profit relationships and incremental analysis provide managers the information to support their decision-making. Issues such as accounting for responsibility centers and transfer pricing will also be introduced.
