| Description |
The aim of this course is to introduce accounting to students. Accounting can be split into financial accounting and management accounting. In this course, we focus on management accounting. In discussing the subject of management accounting, which has an internal focus (like managers and the board of directors), we will concentrate on the value of management accounting information for the internal decision-making process.
