Contemporary issues in Management Accounting

The purpose of this course is to build upon the basic concepts of management accounting introduced in ACCT 305/306. The most current theories and practices that comprise ACCT 707 have been developed over the past decade in response to rapid changes in the external and internal environment that business organizations face. Accounting 707 will examine in depth the most recent management accounting literature with respect to: (1) information that managers need for decision making, and (2) the role of the management accountant in the accumulation, analysis, and use of that information.
