Management Accountants are seen as the “value-creators” among accountants. They are much more interested in forward looking and taking decisions that will affect the future of the organisation, environment and society , than in the historical recording and compliance (scorekeeping) aspects of the profession.
Management accounting knowledge and experience can therefore be obtained from varied fields and functions within an organisation, such as data analytics, information management, treasury, strategic auditing, governance, marketing, valuation, pricing, logistics, and other business areas.
Management accountants often work within multi-disciplinary teams that are very concerned with the allocation of scarce resources to meet the twin challenges of sustaining lives and livelihoods.
