(ACCFIN1007) Management Accounting 1: A Business Decision Emphasis introduces students to the key concepts and techniques of management accounting and their practical applications in business decision-making. The course explores how management accounting supports both short-term and strategic decisions by providing relevant financial and non-financial information. It highlights the distinctions between management and financial accounting, and examines how tools such as cost accounting, budgeting, and performance measurement are used to guide and evaluate decisions within organisations. Students will also learn how inventory management methods, including Just-in-Time (JIT), influence operational efficiency and decision-making.

By the end of the course, students will be able to explain the role of management accounting in various business contexts and distinguish it from financial accounting. They will understand cost accounting methods, their classifications, and their relevance to business activities. The course also develops students’ ability to apply management accounting techniques - such as Activity-Based Costing (ABC), budgeting (including flexible budgets), standard costing, and variance analysis - to make informed short-term and long-term decisions. Through this, students will gain practical skills in cost management, inventory control, and performance evaluation to support effective business planning and strategy.
