Overview

Welcome to CNA

About the Course

Management accounting looks inward — supporting the decisions a business makes internally, rather than reporting outward to shareholders or regulators.

This course covers the specific skill set that role requires: costing a product or service accurately, building and monitoring budgets, and reporting performance in a way that helps managers act, not just observe.

What You Will Learn

01
Costing methods:

calculating the true cost of a product, service, or project, including overhead allocation

02
Budgeting for decision-making:

building budgets designed to support specific management decisions, not just compliance

03
Performance reporting:

designing reports that highlight what a manager needs to know and act on

04
Break-even and margin analysis:

understanding the cost/volume/profit relationships that drive pricing and production decisions

05
Variance analysis for management:

explaining performance gaps in terms a non-finance manager can use
