The language of accounting and financial management is exacting. Our aim is to increase your familiarity with key components of this language and allow you to more effectively communicate with all organisational stakeholders. Users of accounting information may be typically classified as either external users (such as investors) or internal users (such as operational managers). Different users have different information needs. This course deals with the needs of these two main user groups and how the senior management of organisations can more effectively use accounting data to connect with them.The subject will explore accounting techniques and terminology to equip students with sufficient conceptual and practical skills to make them, and any professional who may advise them, confident in their ability to understand and communicate complex financial strategies.This subject also examines the design and operation of accounting systems. As a result, the course integrates ideas and concepts from accounting with a range of other disciplines and reveals how the effective use of financial information provided by such systems can improve organisational decision-making.It is assumed that students have little prior knowledge of accounting and financial management.Read More

Today, it is often characterized as the “land down under”: remote, but somehow familiar. This course presents students with an introduction to Australia as a complex economy and society built from successive waves of migration, foreign investment and local innovation. Within 100 years of that first, fledgling penal colony, Australia was home to the world’s wealthiest city (in per capita income terms) and, more recently, Australia has uniquely enjoyed more than two decades of uninterrupted economic growth, while other OECD countries have suffered recession in the wake of the global financial crises. During the same two decades, Australia’s geopolitical focus has shifted from its historical and cultural ties to Britain and Europe to Asia. The course considers Australia’s economic and political systems, the nature of government-business relations, Australian cultural norms, and what they mean for doing business in Australia and Australia as a ‘gateway to Asia’. The course flexibly blends input from instructors with input from students, mini-cases and exercises, facilitated discussions, unique experiential learning opportunities and corporate site visits to inform students how to operate Australia’s economic, political and social landscape and to challenge them to understand the ‘land down under’ as a place to do business.Read More
