This text is ideal for students pursuing careers in accounting or management, as well as managers seeking to deepen their understanding of accounting systems within strategic organisational contexts.

Management Accounting in a Dynamic Environment fosters critical thinking and ties management accounting to the broader organizational context. It helps students to learn techniques, but also to be intelligent, critical users of the accounting system.

Description

Whether students pursue a professional career in accounting or in other areas of management, they will interact with accounting systems. In all organizations, managers rely on management accounting systems to provide information to deal with changes in their operating environment. This book provides students and managers with an understanding and appreciation of the strengths and limitations of an organization’s accounting system, and enables them to be intelligent and critical users of the system.

The text highlights the role of management accounting as an integral part of the organization’s strategy and not merely a set of individual concepts and computations. An analytical framework for organizational change is used throughout the book to underscore how organizations must adapt to create customer and organizational value. This framework provides a way to examine and analyze the organization’s accounting system, and serves as a basis for evaluating proposed changes to the system.

With international examples that bring the current business environment to the forefront, problems and cases to promote critical thinking, and online support for students and instructors, Management Accounting in a Dynamic Environment is no mere introductory textbook. It prepares readers to use accounting systems intelligently to achieve organizational success.

The authors have identified several cases to accompany each chapter in the textbook. These are available through Ivey Publishing:
