The re-design of a Management Accounting course based upon principles for improving the quality of teaching and learning

On the basis of an evaluation of an introductory Management Accounting subject and in the context of the changing business environment, staff teaching Management Accounting saw a need to reconsider the course programme. The focus of this paper is on the re-development of the undergraduate Management Accounting curriculum. The paper's broader aim is to provide a framework for those concerned with developing accounting curricula by clearly documenting processes involved, making explicit underlying principles, and identifying some difficulties which impact on the successful completion of such a project.
