Outline Hrs/Wk Module Coordinator
Accounting is the primary channel for communicating the
economics of any business. Managers must understand the
concepts and language of accounting in order to use this
critical tool effectively for communication, monitoring, and
resource allocation. This module provides a broad view of
how accounting contributes to an organisation and how
managers can make the best use of accounting
information, accounting records, and systems, and
accountants as internal resources for the purpose of
making effective financial decisions. The module also
includes financial reporting, interpretation and analysis of
financial statements. This course is designed to help
students to use accounting based information to aid in
managerial decision-making. Case study analysis
combined with written and oral case study presentation will
be used extensively. Mr Padachi/Mr Odit

methods to solve decision problems faced by managers in
business will be analysed. The course develops two
important quantitative skills: 1) identification of the
appropriate methodology for solving the managerial
problem; and 2) clearly and precisely specifying the
interpretation of the analysis produced. As a result of
applying the appropriate methodology and clearly reporting
the interpretation of the analysis, the student can then
recommend a sensible and understandable business
decision. Mrs Munhurrun/Mr Nowbutsing
