This comprehensive revision guide for BMAN21040A: Intermediate Management Accounting at the University of Manchester provides clear explanations, detailed illustrations, and worked examples to reinforce key concepts and practical applications. Logically structured and updated to align with current learning objectives, it highlights essential theories and methods with practical examples. This guide equips you with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the course.

BMAN21040A builds on the foundational courses in Introductory Management Accounting (BMAN10512) and Fundamentals of Management Accounting (BMAN10632/10632M). The course examines both the theoretical and practical aspects of cost and management accounting, exploring the design and function of costing systems and the role of cost information in decision-making at operational and strategic levels. Topics include budgeting, rolling forecasts, cost behaviour, variance analysis, divisional performance measurement, supply chain accounting, environmental and sustainable management accounting, transfer pricing, product costing, pricing decisions, capital investment, new product designs, the balanced scorecard, inventory management, and customer and segment profitability, all while considering the behavioural, organisational and social dimensions of these systems.

The primary aim is to deepen students’ understanding of management and cost accounting theories, techniques and practices, with a focus on designing and using control systems within and between organisations. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to demonstrate and apply a range of accounting techniques, critically evaluate their use in various organisational, environmental and managerial contexts, and appreciate the political, social and behavioural influences that shape cost and management accounting practice.
