Summary of content

The rationale for this module is for students to understand that the effective use of financial information is a vital part of the management process. This module aims to develop the understanding of the ways in which financial information is used by managers to review past business performance, understand its current financial position, and for business planning, control and decision making. It should be noted that the emphasis of the course is to promote the understanding and use of financial information rather than to focus on the preparation of that information. Corporate governance issues are considered in testing the integrity of financial reporting aligned to principles of global corporate social responsibility.
