The management accounting function has both an informational and motivational role in organisational decision making. Analysis of information is considered within the context of activity-focused-costing systems and the assessment of non-financial performance measures. The motivational effects of budgets, control processes and performance measures are considered. Issues in human information processing are introduced. Students engage in problem based learning applying strategies to conceptualise problems and formulate optimal solutions.
| Objectives | Upon successful completion of the course you should be able to: 1. Demonstrate an integrative understanding of the theoretical concepts supporting the accounting processes covered. 2.

Work independently and collaboratively in accounting environments to critically analyse problem scenarios and employ conceptual accounting models to formulate solutions. 6.
