Students learn to prepare and interpret management accounting 
information for both operational and strategic decision making. 
Specifically, students learn how to determine the costs and 
profitability of different products, services, and customers. 
Students learn how to use that cost information along with 
other cost and revenue data to prepare cost-volume profit 
analyses, and to make informed strategic and operational 
business decisions, such as identifying relevant revenues and 
costs for special short-term decisions, such as accepting or 
rejecting one-time only special orders.  Students learn how to 
use cost information to plan business operations, and to 
measure performance of different responsibility centers and 
their managers using techniques such as variance analysis.  
Students learn to anticipate how management accounting 
information affects employees' incentives and behavior, and how 
to decide when and where a particular management accounting 
tool is likely to be useful.
