Part 1 understanding of ‘bottom line’ and select the appropriate
cost
How to use the Management Accounting to make decisions?
While Financial Accounting is compulsory, Management Accounting
is not. However, organizations with excellent Management
Information Systems have a significant competitive advantage.
The first part focuses on the understanding of a company’s
‘bottom line’. A key part is to analyze it from a customer’s
perspective. Customer profitability analysis is an extremely useful
tool to add value to an organization without necessarily cutting
costs. Cutting costs is often a knee jerk reaction when a company
comes under pressure. It is seldom sustainable and has the

organization. Putting a measurement system in place so that
these intangibles can be managed is an essential part of modern
financial management.

many organizations have realigned their strategy to address
responsible businesses practices. Corporate Social Responsibility
was once thought to give an organization a competitive advantage.
Today it is considered a competitive necessity. For example,
charitable donations written off as an expense in the Statement of
Financial Performance may in fact be a key value driver. The

what benefits they deliver.

finance courses abroad through our cooperation with some famous foreign training institutions.
The purpose of this course is to give managers an appreciation of the differences between Financial Accounting,
Management Accounting and Financial Management.
It aims to introduce managers to modern financial tools that are available to help them understand and manage their
business better. The course underlines the importance of understanding value measurement, so that key value drivers
can be identified and managed.
Every effort is made to apply the tools to current development in the business world in order to underline the practical
application of them. Valid and competently assembled data may lead to good decisions. Incomplete or distorted data
will usually lead to bad decisions. Investing and lending decisions require the application of thorough analysis to
carefully evaluated data. They require, moreover, the ability to forecast. Sound information is obtained by an understanding
of the data from which it is derived as well as by the application of tools of analysis to aid in its extraction and
evaluation.
