Overview
Strategic management accounting is a key component of the overall skills base of today’s professional accountant. This unit will provide an in-depth understanding of management accounting techniques designed to support strategy by building on the technical knowledge gained in AYB202. The unit examines the strategic management accountants’ role in dynamic organisations and considers the skills and competencies that management accountants should develop to stay competitive as value-adding members of management teams in the global business environment. By the end of this unit, students will be able to identify and analyse complex situations from a strategic perspective and generate a range of effective alternative options and innovative solutions suitable for real-world situations.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Demonstrate advanced knowledge of strategic management accounting concepts and frameworks.
- Exercise critical thinking, evaluation and judgement for evidence-based problem solving, decision making and planning across a range of strategic management accounting issues.
- Effectively communicate in a debating forum about a strategic management accounting issue.
- Communicate in written form to professionally structure and present ideas, judgements and opinions and apply teamwork knowledge and skills to work with others.
Content
AYB321 Strategic Management Accounting focuses on many of the significant developments that have occurred in the practice of management accounting. Whilst AYB225/AYB202 Management Accounting has examined some of these developments (e.g. Balanced Scorecard and Activity Based Costing), this unit consolidates upon the technical understanding of how these tools are applied in practice by taking a more strategic orientation to the application of the techniques to managerial decision making. It is assumed in this course that students have an appreciation and good understanding of the basic management accounting concepts and techniques.
Throughout the course students will apply logic and analytical tools to address critical issues across five decision domains: the product domain; the process domain; the entity domain; the customer domain; the supply chain domain.

This examination will be an invigilated face-to-face exam undertaken either on campus or at an examination centre. Students may be required to attend campus or an assessment centre for the purposes of assessment, regardless of the attendance mode for the unit.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
