Course objectives
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the Managerial and Cost Accounting, to explore how the information is used for managerial decision making on various levels. The knowledge will be gained and developed using practical case studies. Students can use basic tools of managerial (or cost) accounting, such as costing, cost allocation and cost tracing, budgeting, internal reporting etc. Students can define goals and target values and compare these with the real values. The comparison is then used for the analysis and to measure performance at different levels of decision making. Students can use value information of ex ante and ex post type in order to make decisions and select the best alternative.
