Overview
This unit prepares students to analyse, interpret and make decisions based on the accounting and financial information produced by an organisation. Different types of accounting and financial information are introduced together with various techniques that are utilised to generate insights into organisational performance, risk management as well as management investment, finance and profit distribution decision making.
