Strategic Uses of Accounting Information |
| Description: |
This course provides an introduction to the use of accounting information for planning operations, controlling activities and evaluating the performance of an organization. Both the advantages and disadvantages of traditional cost systems are explored and that knowledge is expanded by exploring reasons why traditional cost systems may not provide relevant information for firms to compete in a constantly evolving, global marketplace. Coverage of topics related to traditional cost system design includes cost terminology and cost classifications, types of cost behavior, and cost-volume-profit analysis. Topics related to the design of non-traditional cost systems include a brief introduction to both activity analysis and activity-based cost systems.
