Management accounting
(2020)
Management Accounting is written for students in international Business Management study programs. It covers the widely applied syllabus of Cost Accounting and Management Accounting at universities on bachelor’s and master’s level. The book is based on more than 20 years’ academic teaching experience in Germany and at international universities in South Africa, Malaysia, China, the Netherlands and South Korea.
In this text book, the application of methods and instruments comes first. Management Accounting follows a case study based approach. All cases are taken from previous exam papers and explained in detail.
The text book starts with a case study of a manufacturing company and compares Financial Accounting to Management Accounting. It covers two point of views: (1) a General Management view, with aspects of business planning, cost-volume-profit analysis, degree of operating leverage, mergers and cross-border acquisitions and risk valuation. (2) a Cost Accounting view with Management Accounting systems, flexible budgeting, cost allocations, performance measurement and monitoring, reporting, calculation, manufacturing accounting (job order and process costing), activity based costing and multi-level contribution margin Accounting.
On the UVK website, numerous exam tasks and complete solutions thereto are available in English.

They also cover neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, and Bayesian networks. Definitions are highlighted in the book and assignments invite readers to think along. The textbook is aimed at students of computer science, engineering and natural sciences, especially in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, and mathematics.
