Management Accounting - Fundamentals

For professional accountants that have not exercised those management accounting muscles in some time (maybe since university), this course will help participants apply management accounting concepts to generate new ideas for problem solving.

 

Common associations with management accounting include cost accounting, break even analysis and variance analysis. However, management accounting concepts include so much more such as organizational behavior and employee motivation. It is exciting to learn that the world of management accounting includes, for example, research on workplace altruism by renowned Wharton School Professor Adam Grant. And at the center of all these concepts in management accounting is their application to creative problem solving.

In gaining movement back in those management accounting muscles by taking this course, participants will be able to generate more ideas on how to solve problems such as:

  • How to identify and classify costs for internal decision making
  • How to use cost behavior to help with budgeting and forecasting
  • How to more effectively communicate with non-financial managers (such as Sales, HR)
  • How to create incentives to align organizational strategy and employee motivations

Participants will work through problems, case studies and collaborate with their peers to discuss how they can use management accounting information and tools to help solve challenges within their organizations.
