Abstract


The functional intersection of Financial and Managerial Accounting emerges in Cost Accounting.  Product and service operational cost information for strategic and tactical decision making is a typical deliverable of Cost Accounting systems.  Cost accumulation methods, standard costing and budgeting in manufacturing, construction, service, healthcare and professional markets are crucial for long-term organizational viability.

 

This session will demonstrate experiential learning opportunities in the accounting curriculum relevant for both traditional and online environments. Students create solutions to various projects, and utilize both NetSuite ERP and sophisticated Excel models as information tools to master multiple related learning objectives.
