Cost Accounting: Tools and Techniques
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through management accounting and cost allocation on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: reporting standards keep moving and finance teams carry the consequence of getting them wrong, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with working capital management, financial instruments and deferred tax in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of working capital management rather than escalating it, measured against the Companies Act
- Improve financial instruments within their own organisation
- Review deferred tax and say plainly whether it is working
- Put fraud detection on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
