Employers expect accounting majors to have strong financial accounting skills, but they also expect application of the planning, controlling, and decision making skills that are the foundation of managerial accounting.
The IMA estimates that more than 80% of professional accountants in the U.S. work in non-public accounting environments.

Managerial Accounting: Beyond the Numbers

Planning
Decision
Making
The primary purpose of this course is to teach measurement skills that managers use to support planning, controlling, and decision making activities.
1-*
Managerial Accounting: Beyond the Numbers
Measurement skills help managers answer important questions.
What net income should my company report to its stockholders?
Measure and report historical data that complies with applicable rules.
How will my company serve its customers?
Measure and analyze mostly non-financial, process-oriented data.
Will my company need to borrow money?
Measure and analyze estimated future cash flows.
1-*
Managerial Accounting: Beyond the Numbers
Six Business Management Perspectives that go beyond the numbers to enable intelligent planning, control, and decision making:
- An Ethics Perspective
- A Strategic Management Perspective
- An Enterprise Risk Management Perspective
- A Corporate Social Responsibility Respective
- A Process Management Prospective
- A Leadership Perspective
1-*
An Ethics Perspective
Competence
Follow applicable
laws, regulations,
and standards.
Maintain professional competence.
Provide accurate, clear, concise, and timely decision support information.
Recognize and communicate professional limitations that preclude responsible judgment.
The Institute of Management Accountant’s (IMA) Statement of Ethical Professional Practice provides guidelines for ethical behavior.
1-*
Confidentiality
Do not disclose confidential information unless legally obligated to do so.
Ensure that subordinates do not disclose confidential information.
Do not use confidential information for unethical or illegal advantage.
IMA Guidelines for Ethical Behavior
1-*
Mitigate conflicts of interest and advise others of potential conflicts.
Abstain from activities that might discredit the profession.
Refrain from conduct that would prejudice carrying out duties ethically.
Integrity
IMA Guidelines for Ethical Behavior
1-*
Communicate information fairly and objectively.
Disclose all relevant information that could influence a user’s understanding of reports
and recommendations.
Credibility
IMA Guidelines for Ethical Behavior
Disclose delays or deficiencies in information timeliness, processing, or internal controls.
1-*
IMA Guidelines for Resolution of an Ethical Conflict
Follow employer’s established policies.
If this does not work, consider the following:
Discuss the conflict with immediate supervisor or next highest uninvolved managerial level.
If immediate supervisor is the CEO, consider the board of directors or the audit committee.
Contact with levels above the immediate supervisor should only be initiated with the supervisor’s knowledge, assuming the supervisor is not involved.
1-*
IMA Guidelines for Resolution of an Ethical Conflict
If following employer’s established policies for conflict resolution do not work, consider these additional practices:
Except where legally prescribed, maintain confidentiality.
Clarify issues in a confidential discussion with an objective advisor.
Consult an attorney as to legal obligations.
1-*
Why Have Ethical Standards?
Ethical standards in business are essential for a
smooth functioning economy.
Abandoning ethical standards in business would
lead to a lower quality of life with less
desirable goods and services at higher prices.
Without ethical standards in business, the
economy, and all of us who depend on it for
jobs, goods, and services, would suffer.
1-*
A Strategic Management Perspective
A strategy
is a “game plan”
that enables a company
to attract customers
by distinguishing itself
from competitors.
The focal point of a
company’s strategy should
be its target customers.
1-*
Customer Value Propositions
Understand and respond to
individual customer needs.
Customer
Intimacy
Strategy
Operational
Excellence
Strategy
Deliver products and services
faster, more conveniently,
and at lower prices.
Product
Leadership
Strategy
Offer higher quality products.
1-*
An Enterprise Risk Management Perspective
A process used
by a company to
proactively identify
and manage risk.
Once a company identifies its risks, perhaps the
most common risk management tactic is to reduce
risks by implementing specific controls.
Should I try to avoid the risk, accept the risk, or reduce the risk?

A Corporate Social Responsibility Perspective
CSR extends beyond legal compliance
to include voluntary actions that satisfy
stakeholder expectations.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept
whereby organizations consider the needs
of all stakeholders when making decisions.
Customers
Employees
Communities
Suppliers
Stockholders
Environmental
& Human Rights
Advocates

A Process Management Perspective
A business
process is a series of
steps that are followed in order to
carry out some task in
a business.
Product Customer
R&D Design Manufacturing Marketing Distribution Service
Business functions making up the value chain
1-*
Lean Production
Lean Production is often called Just-In-Time (JIT) production.
Customer places an order
Create Production Order
Generate component requirements
Production begins as parts arrive
Goods delivered when needed
Components are ordered
1-*
Lean Production
Traditional Manufacturing
Produce goods in anticipation of Sales
Make Sales from Finished Goods Inventory
Store
Inventory
1-*
Lean Production
Because lean thinking only allows production in response to customer orders, the number of units produced tends to equal the number of units sold.
The lean approach also results in fewer defects, less wasted effort, and quicker customer response times than traditional production methods.
1-*
A Leadership Perspective
Organizational leaders unite the behavior of employees around two common themes—pursuing strategic goals and making optimal decisions.
Factors that influence behavior:
- Intrinsic Motivation
- Extrinsic Incentives
- Cognitive Bias
