Being a management accountant isn't just rote memorization of accounting rules ; it's about developing the critical judgment and decision-making skills needed to form accounting estimates, evaluate financial statements, and manage an organization effectively. Introduction to Management Accounting helps students develop these skills by providing a solid foundation in fundamental concepts through the discussion of actual accounting decisions made in companies around the world.
The authors and contributors of this Global Edition present concepts using a proven reader-friendly approach with structured examples that emphasize their application and encourage a deeper understanding of managerial accounting and its impact on business. The examples cover global companies such as Accor S.A., Airbus, and H.L. Display, and topics such as mixed-cost and step-cost behavior, activity-level and flexible-budget variances, and financial statement analysis.
Students learn functional-based cost and control and then activity-based cost systems, equipping them with the skills to manage any cost management system. They then get a chance to test their knowledge through the end-of-chapter questions designed specially to aid day-to-day decision-making. Available separately for purchase is MyLab Accounting for Introduction to Management Accounting, the teaching and learning platform that empowers instructors to personalize learning for every student.
