COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course covers the role of accounting in the creation and application of business information used by decision-makers in the management of enterprise.
This first course in managerial accounting introduces students to the use of accounting information for internal management decision-making. The internal user focus is a notable contrast to the emphasis in financial accounting of reporting the results of a company’s operations to external users. The course is designed from the perspective of the general manager, and its primary purpose is to develop the ability to use rather than to prepare accounting information.
Specifically, this course should help you to
- Apply basic cost concepts to develop costing systems that will determine the cost of a company’s
products or services. Accurate cost data is an essential prerequisite for proper managerial decision-making.
- Apply management accounting concepts and techniques in order to make wise choices between competing alternatives. This requires the ability to extract relevant information from accounting records, reports or statements, and to properly use this information.
- Explain management control systems and utilize these concepts in evaluating the performance of managers, products, or economic units.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The course will also address the following learning goals:
- Ethics: students will be exposed to ethical situations in assigned homework questions and classroom discussions
- Communications: students will be encouraged to participate in classroom discussions and will be evaluated on written communication on examination papers.
- Quantitative methods: students will develop skills in basic quantitative analyses in assignment homework questions and classroom activities
- Critical thinking: students will be expected to determine which decision analyses are required in various situations, the underlying assumptions and limitations of the analyses, and what additional information should be considered.
COURSE FORMAT AND ONLINE ACCESS
The course is asynchronous and is meant to be taken online at your own pace. The majority of the material for this course has been posted on UMLearn and is available for you from the start of the course. Guidelines have been given to you on how to approach the course, but you are responsible for the self- management of covering the material.
There are two exams throughout the term. They may have qualitative and quantitative components. These will be online, remotely-written exams using UMLearn and Respondus Lockdown and Monitor. You will need a device (computer or iPad; note that smartphones and Chromebooks will not work) with one of the following operating systems:
- Windows 10 or 8 (note: will not work with Windows 10S)
- MacOS 11.1+ to 10.
- iPad iOS: 11.0+ (will not work with other tablets)
- Memory: 2 GB RAM
- Hard Disk Space: 200 MB of free hard disk space for program files
You will need the Chrome browser. Other browsers such as Safari will not work.

Group Excel Case Assignments: (3% each) 6.0% Case 1 By 11:59 PM, June 17, 2022 in UM Learn Dropbox Case 2 By 11:59 PM, July 8, 2022 in UM Learn Dropbox
Final Examination: (50%) Cumulative Final Exam (3 hours) TBD 50.0% Total 100.0%
Letter Grades
When all scores are in after the final exam, letter grades are then determined based on distribution. In the past, the weighted course average has been in C or C+ range. Please note that all final grades are subject to departmental review.
Group Excel Case Assignments: Both assignments are to be done in groups using Excel functions and templates provided, where applicable. Save your final team work in the Excel Workbook before submitting in the Dropbox on UM Learn course website. Late, individual, or in-person paper-based submissions will not be accepted. Marks will be lost for not using the Excel functions or format. Individual score of each assignment will be adjusted accordingly to compute the end-of-term course grade. Groups will be assigned by the instructor when the registration revision period is over. It is suggested that you make a copy of your answer to check against the graded assignment. For both assignments, the credit is based on having certain check figures correct.
Mandatory Connect Assignments for the 12th CE : Your grade on the Connect assignments will be based on your actual performance. Be advised that you MUST hit “SUBMIT” to submit the assignment to Connect: it is not submitted automatically. If you are not satisfied with your score, you are able to re-do
the assignment as many times as you like, but make sure to submit the assignment after each attempt. The best attempt will be the one used for your overall score. Late assignments are not accepted.
Examinations: The examinations will be online, remotely-written exams using UMLearn and Respondus Lockdown and Monitor. You will need a device (computer or iPad; note that smartphones and Chromebooks will not work) with one of the following operating systems:
- Windows 10 or 8 (note: will not work with Windows 10S)
- MacOS 11.1+ to 10.
- iPad iOS: 11.0+ (will not work with other tablets)
- Memory: 2 GB RAM
- Hard Disk Space: 200 MB of free hard disk space for program files
You will need the Chrome browser. Other browsers such as Safari will not work.
Cell phones are not permitted. You must bring your student ID card to the exam. A driver license is not sufficient to prove your student status to write an examination with the University of Manitoba.
End of chapter self-study questions: The Connect assignments are NOT sufficient preparation for this course. This course outline includes a list of self-study questions that should to be done at the end of each chapter. These questions are designed to allow students to review lecture material and to practice applying knowledge of each subject area. Reviewing the assigned Connect e-book video(s) before attempting the self-study questions will be helpful. Solutions of after-chapter problems are provided in the UM Learn course site.
Students may benefit from working on questions with a study partner or in a small group. This will help ensure completeness of your individual responses. Questions will not be handed in for grading. It is each student’s responsibility to check their own responses against solutions in detail and to identify areas where improvement is necessary. Any persistent difficulties should be discussed with the instructor during office hours or by email.
MISSED EXAM AND LATE SUBMISSION POLICY
There is no make-up midterm examination. In all cases of midterm absence, the instructor should be advised within 7 calendar days of the examination date. Students who miss the midterm examination for legitimate reasons (medical, compassionate, or COVID-19 complications) and provide suitable documentation in time (if required) will have the weight of midterm exam put on the final exam.
Note that a conflict with employment is not an excused absence considered by the University. If you miss any test for non-legitimate reasons you will be given a score of 0 (zero) for that test. There will be NO DEFERRED TEST privileges.
Do not make travel plans before the Final Exam. I cannot let you take the exam earlier/later because you booked a flight ticket for a date earlier than the final exam. In the event you have to miss the Final Exam for a valid reason, a request for a deferred exam must be made at your home Faculty’s Undergraduate

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY
The online format of class delivery does not lower the Asper School’s academic integrity standards. The same high levels of academic integrity are expected this term as they are in previous terms.
It is critical to the reputation of the Asper School of Business and of our degrees that everyone associated with our faculty behave with the highest academic integrity. As the faculty that helps create business and government leaders, we have a special obligation to ensure that our ethical standards are beyond reproach. Any dishonesty in our academic transactions violates this trust. The University of Manitoba General Calendar addresses the issue of academic dishonesty under the heading “Plagiarism and Cheating.” Specifically, acts of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to:
using the exact words of a published or unpublished author without quotation marks and without referencing the source of these words (includes Chat messages posted during class) duplicating a table, graph or diagram, in whole or in part, without referencing the source paraphrasing the conceptual framework, research design, interpretation, or any other ideas of another person, whether written or verbal (e.g., personal communications, ideas from a verbal presentation) without referencing the source copying the answers of another student in any test, examination, or take-home assignment recording exam questions using any method, regardless of whether those are shared with others sharing exam questions with those who are yet to take the exam, including future students or attempting to sell exam questions providing answers to another student in any test, examination, or take-home assignment taking any unauthorized materials into an examination or term test (crib notes) impersonating another student or allowing another person to impersonate oneself for the purpose of attendance, earning class participation marks, submitting academic work, or writing any test or examination stealing or mutilating library materials accessing test prior to the time and date of the sitting changing name or answer(s) on a test after that test has been graded and returned submitting the same paper or portions thereof for more than one assignment, without discussions with the instructors involved
Group Projects and Group Work
Many courses in the Asper School of Business require group projects. Students should be aware that group projects are subject to the same rules regarding academic integrity. All group members should exercise special care to ensure that the group project does not violate the policy on Academic Integrity. Should a violation occur, group members are jointly accountable unless the violation can be attributed to specific individuals.
Some courses, while not requiring group projects, encourage students to work together in groups before submitting individual assignments. If it’s unclear whether it is allowed, students are encouraged to seek clarification from the instructor to avoid violating the academic integrity policy. In the Asper School of Business, all suspected cases of academic dishonesty in undergraduate courses are reported to the Dean's office and follow the approved disciplinary process. See following table for typical penalties for academic dishonesty in the Asper School.

UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA COVID-19 HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY
April 8, 2022
The University of Manitoba (the “UM”) is committed to maintaining a safe learning environment for all students, faculty, and staff. Should campus operations change because of health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic or other campus-wide emergency, it is possible that this course will move to a fully remote delivery format. Should the instructor be required to stay at home for an extended period and an alternate instructor not be available, the course may move temporarily to a remote delivery format.
Mask Wearing
In a face-to-face environment, our commitment to safety requires students to observe all Covid guidelines set by the University (https://umanitoba.ca/coronavirus )
While on campus and in class, you must wear masks as stipulated in current University policies, procedures, and guidelines. The University highly recommends the use of KN-95 masks; the minimum requirement is a ATSM Level 2 Medical mask. Both mask types are available at many locations on campus.
Students who fail to comply are subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Discipline Bylaw and the Non-Academic Misconduct and Concerning Behaviour Procedure.
If you do not follow masking requirements, you will be asked to leave the learning space and may only return to the class already in progress when you have complied with this requirement. Repeated issues will result in disciplinary action as previously noted.
Students should not eat or drink during class time.
Illness
Remember: STAY HOME IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS OR ARE ILL. If you become ill we highly recommend that you self-isolate; you should notify your instructor by email so you can develop a plan to complete the course learning outcomes while you are absent.
What to do if you become ill while at UM:
- Leave the classroom, lab, or workspace immediately. Continue to wear your mask while leaving the premises and/or while waiting for transportation.
- Perform hand hygiene (soap and water or hand sanitizer) and avoid contact with others and minimize contact with the physical environment.
- Once at home, complete the MB self-assessment and follow the directions that are provided.
- Inform your instructor(s) or, if in residence, the appropriate individual.
