DESCRIPTION
Management Accounting II stresses the importance of costs and cost drivers in the production, analysis and use of information for short-term decision making in organisations. Thus, forecasting key relevant variables, recognising risks and uncertainties attached to future events, is a basis for budget construction. The budget is then used with costing systems to evaluate actual performance. Management Accounting II provides the foundation for cost management and the long-term decisions covered in Management Accounting III.
