Management Accounting

Management Accounting 2nd edition has been revised in response to changes in the global business environment. Unbridled access to information, intense competition and ongoing challenges in the corporate world have meant that cost accounting has become an increasingly important tool for managers and accountants alike. Most textbooks focus on content knowledge and then expect students to ?magically? demonstrate skills such as decision–making and critical thinking. As many students fail to recognise the assumptions, limitations, behavioural implications and qualitative factors that influence managerial decision–making, this text will better prepare students for professional success by bridging the gaps between knowledge, skills and abilities. The textbook is written in a style that is accessible to students and includes chapter scene setters, realistic illustrative examples, self–study problems and unique problem material structured to encourage students to think about accounting problems and problem–solving more complexly.   INDICE: Preface. .Steps for better thinking. .How to use this book. .Acknowledgements. .1 The role of accounting information in management decision making. .2 Cost concepts, behaviour and estimation. .3 A costing framework and cost allocation. .4 Cost volume profit (CVP) analysis. .5 Job costing systems. .6 Process costing systems. .7 Absorption, variable and throughput costing. .8 Activity analysis: costing and management. .9 Relevant costs for decision making. .10 Standard costs, flexible budgets and variance analysis. .11 Operational budgets. .12 Strategy and control. .13 Planning and budgeting for strategic success. .14 Capital budgeting and strategic investment decisions. .15 The strategic management of costs and revenues. .16 Strategic management control: a lean perspective. .17 Responsibility accounting, performance evaluation and transfer pricing. .18 The balanced scorecard and strategy maps. .19 Rewards, incentives and risk management. .20 Sustainability management accounting. .Glossary. .Index.
