Assignment Brief and Guidance:
As a newly-qualified Management Accountant, you have been asked by your line manager to produce a report which analyses the organisation’s use of planning tools to ensure financial stability and performance as well as ways in which management accounting has played a key role in preventing and solving financial problems.
This assignment is in the form of a two-part individual management report:
Part A. Compare and contrast three planning tools used in management accounting, indicating how effective you judge each to be and why. Your judgements should be supported by evidence.
Part B: Using specific case studies as examples, compare ways in which management accounting is applied, the effectiveness of management accounting in dealing with financial problems and preventing financial problems in organisations.
