Inhoud

How do you get to achieve organizational goals? For this purpose, many organizations use a Planning & Control system, amongst other means. This implies that the strategy systematically is translated in plans and budgets and that performance is evaluated frequently. In this context, “Control” means that you try to manage the organization by making the right decisions based on valuable information. Valuable information, that in particular comes from a well-designed accounting system.

During this course you will use the knowledge you gained at Business Administration 2 and Management Accounting & Control 2. The assignments you will be working on apply to a company in the field. Several subjects will be covered, such as budgeting, performance measurement, journal entries and ratio analysis. The goal of the integrated assignment is that you understand relations between both fields.

You will also develop several skills during this course. To get the necessary information you will conduct an interview, taking validity and reliability into account. You will use Excel to generate useful information. When your research is done, you will persuasively hand the company your results and advice through a presentation.
