Course overview

Business administration in general, and management control and accounting in particular, is about creating, understanding and applying different models for decision making. The models are expected to support the economically rational decision making of managers and co-workers. The control instruments discussed during EKF113 Management Accounting (6 credits) are intended to contribute to the implementation of organisational strategies. In management accounting, basic concepts and models are used to evaluate the profitability of organisational units, products and services.
