Module purpose
To provide students with appropriate knowledge regarding Management Accounting. 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.
*The assumption is made that the accounting standards not mentioned in this module are covered in previous financial accounting modules (NQF 6 level)
