DESCRIPTION Objectives:

This main objective of this study-unit is to provide students with an insight into the fundamentals of cost/management accounting.

Content:

The techniques for costing materials, labour and overheads will be delved into in some detail. The discussion will then refer to the notions associated with cost-volume-profit analysis (that were dwelt upon earlier on during the course) and illustrate a number of situations where the important concept of the contribution can be made use of, for the purposes of short-term decision-making. The last part of the course will be devoted to a broad-based introduction to the indispensable tools of budgeting and budgetary control.
