Course Description:

'' This course offers a chance to improve yourself by becoming a more autonomous learner. It will provide you with ability and confidence in a field of knowledge that is vital to your career.

You will learn to interpret and evaluate how accounting concepts and applications, particularly those of a strategy-implementation nature as listed below, figure in organisations both within and beyond your experience. These include:

organising for performance

information for performance measurement and control

performance measurement systems

using diagnostic and interactive control systems

aligning performance goals and incentives

strategic risk

achieving profit goals and strategies.

You will learn to demonstrate that you can approach case study and ‘real life�situations inquisitively, laterally and critically. You will learn to gather, process and utilise quantitative and qualitative data about organisational situations in order to improve performance, and to demonstrate that you can continue to develop analytical, reflective and decision-making aptitudes alone and through further study. You will learn to discuss and apply concepts and applications of a strategy-implementation nature to such a level that you may draw on the expertise of accounting specialists.

The course’s learning methods are problem-based. Usually, you will be given a case-study and be expected to apply your existing knowledge and any new knowledge you can gather from the supplied textbooks, journal articles, electronic sources and course participants to make sense of, discuss, analyse, synthesise and evaluate issues and possibilities in the case study. The knowledge you will gain during the course covers accounting, financial management, strategy implementation, management control and performance measurement. It will comprise not only facts, ideas and concepts, but also abilities, competencies and skills. The way you are assessed and what you are assessed on will mirror how you learn and what you learn; the assessment will constitute part of the learning.

Vocational relevance
The course is of equal relevance to aspiring accountants and students of business studies particularly interested in management control and strategy implementation.
