This course focuses on the use of accounting information in efficiently operating an organization. The concepts are sufficiently general to be applicable in both profit and not-for-profit organizations, but most of our discussion will deal with profit-oriented firms. Management accounting has two major roles:

Decision-Facilitating role
Decision-Influencing role

An organization's accounting records must provide the information necessary to prepare the financial statements reported to investors, bankers, unions, and others who are not part of the firm's management. These statements must be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), particularly if the statements are audited. However, the information reported to management need not be prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management wants the information that is most useful in operating their organization, and that may differ from the information used to satisfy GAAP. Credit will be granted for only one of COMM 294 or COEC 294.

* Prerequisite(s): One of COEC 293, COMM 293.
