Module Learning Outcomes:
This assignment is designed to assess the following module learning outcomes. However, your submission will be marked using the Grading Criteria given in the section on the next page.
LO2. Discuss how management accounting and the role of management accountants is changing
LO3. Analyse the nature and role of management accounting in different organisational contexts
LO4. Assess the behavioural issues which have to be considered by management accountants;
LO5. Evaluate the usefulness of management accounting techniques and reports in specific contemporary situations.
Please note that these learning outcomes will be covered by addressing the requirement.
You should not attempt to address them directly.
Assignment:
The primary role of management accounting is usually seen as assisting managers in fulfilling the goals of their organization. Management accounting provides a range of tools and techniques to assist in this role.
You are required to:
Choose a tool or technique addressed in the module. Identify and evaluate how this tool or technique is used by organisations. Your evaluation should be supported with evidence. Summarise your findings in a single page poster.
Your investigation should go beyond the content of the Management Accounting module (although content from the module can be included) and therefore credit will be given for the use of relevant academic and professional literature that effectively supports your poster. All posters should contain a reference list.
Your poster should be aimed at managers in an organisation who are not accountants but have completed a short “Introduction to accounting” course and so are aware of the basics of management accounting.
Your group will be required to submit a progress report by 12pm on Monday 25th November. Further details of this can be found on Canvas.
