Advanced Management Accounting Engineering Program Fall 2019 Semester - London

The module introduces to the student more advanced and specialised management accounting topics as applied to decision-making and performance management. The module will help the student to understand and analyse the systems used by organisations to measure and manage their performance and to implement their strategies in a changing environment. Traditionally management accounting and budgetary control systems served this function. More recently, other techniques have been proposed, such as the balanced scorecard. The module will encourage students to consider why organisations measure, what the characteristics of good measures and good measurement systems are.
