Accounting Behaviour and Organisations provides you with an opportunity to further your understanding of the management accounting tools and techniques taught in previous management accounting courses. In this course you will explore the use of these tools to design formal Management Accounting Systems in different organisational contexts. The course adopts the perspective of accounting as a social practice; therefore there is a strong emphasis on the behaviours that management accounting systems can encourage.
The course also examines the relevance of business strategy and organisational structure to the design management accounting systems. Particular emphasis is given to the role of performance-based measures and rewards within contemporary management accounting systems, and the behaviours these factors may encourage.
