It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

A management accounting specialty within the accounting information management field will provide a special emphasis on preparing financial reports and advice to managers within a company. To prepare students for this field, the degree will first instill a strong background in accounting information management, which includes best accounting practices such as those established by the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and the International Accounting Standards (IAS). A background in mathematics, writing, economics, and law may all be important for the successful completion of the program. With the management accounting specialty, the program will further train students to provide leadership, reporting, and financial logic as it applies to decision makers and direction for organizations both large and small.

Obtaining a bachelor’s of business administration in accounting information management will qualify students to take on jobs in financial leadership roles within organizations both for-profit and non-profit. A management accounting specialty further defines a role for graduates as management accountants that specialize in informing and working with other managers in a forward-looking perspective that stands in contrast to the accounting that takes place for the purpose of informing the public or stock holders about previous trends. According to the United States Department of Labor, accountants and auditors earned just over $50,000 a year on average.
