Course Description This course is designed to provide an introduction and overview of the uses of managerial accounting information in contemporary organizations. Whereas financial accounting focuses on providing information that is relevant and useful for external users, managerial accounting focuses on providing information that is relevant and useful for internal decision makers. Such information is used by executives and management in manufacturing, high technology, and service organizations (both profit and nonprofit) for strategic planning, evaluation, and control. The first phase of this course addresses cost measurement issues. The second part of this course addresses the use of cost information in organizational planning and control processes. The third, and final, section of the course is devoted to understanding cost behavior patterns and how these patterns affect financial decision-making. 2.
