Course content

This online microcredential aims to provide an introduction and background to some of the basic ideas and concepts behind management accounting. It will emphasise how accounting data is used and interpreted by leaders to help them make decisions. The course will explore different definitions of profit or surplus covering both private and public sector organisations. Trends in data will be investigated, and how these trends can be interpreted in different ways to provide meaning for an organisation. The course will look at the nature and role of budgeting and how an understanding of budgeting can help feed into the procurement process and how these can impact an organisation.

Upon successful completion, students will receive a digital badge and certificate of completion, and five Master's credits.
