This module concerns the public sector's accounting, auditing and taxation, including government budgeting practices that under-emphasise accounting. This module aims to portray the whole of government through the eyes of accountants by concentrating on the possibilities of accounting techniques. Historically, accounting modules are taught in the context of for-profit organisations. This module assumes a basic understanding of such accounting. Moreover, this module will shed light on performance measurement in the public sector including internal audits and financial reporting. The third part will highlight the economics of taxation in areas like operating tax systems efficiently, tax incentives and other taxation tools used by the government to enhance their economic growth.

Accounting systems provide useful inputs in the decision-making processes of organisations. The overall aim of this module is to provide an understanding of how accounting processes and techniques are implicated in the management of organisations, be it at the board, strategic or tactical levels. This module will hence focus on how organizations are controlled and managed from the point of view of internal and external decision- makers, and the issues are considered in the context of business enterprises. The module builds on the fundamentals of accounting and the various management modules to develop the student’s awareness of contemporary issues emerging at the intersection of accounting and management.

This module provides an in-depth overview of core principles in both financial and management accounting, laying the groundwork for understanding how financial data is systematically recorded, analysed, and applied within organisations. The module begins with an exploration of financial statement preparation, covering foundational concepts, measurement challenges, and the assumptions that underpin financial reporting. Through this study, students gain valuable insights into how accurate financial recording supports organisational control, enhancing decision-making and ensuring financial transparency. The module then examines how financial performance and other essential information are conveyed through financial reporting, focusing on how stakeholders, including shareholders, analysts, and regulators use this information to evaluate a company’s financial stability and performance.

In addition to financial accounting, the module aims to build students' theoretical and practical expertise in management accounting, equipping them with tools and techniques for informed planning, decision-making and effective organisational control. Students will explore key concepts which are crucial for making sound financial decisions across diverse business settings. The module also introduces contemporary management control techniques, offering insights into budgeting, investment appraisal and performance management, thereby preparing students to understand how management accounting supports strategic planning and operational efficiency within organisations.

This well-rounded approach equips students with a solid grounding in both financial and managerial accounting practices to support managerial activities.
