BUACC5933 Cost and Management Accounting
This course enables students to develop an understanding of cost and management accounting information and develop their expertise in preparing and using such information in diverse organisations and international settings. The initial focus of the course is on determining product costs, utilising job order, process and activity-based costing systems. The course subsequently examines how cost and other information is used to guide management decision making through a consideration of topics such as cost-volume-profit analysis, incremental analysis, internal and external pricing, and capital project evaluation. Budgets and standard costing systems are studied as a means for planning and controlling business activity. Each topic is introduced by a critical review of key theoretical concepts that are then applied to practical settings.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,663
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
