This module is a core module which introduces you to accounting and financial decision making. The module has two main elements: retrospective historical accounting and prospective forward looking accounting.

You will simultaneously learn to use accounting software SAGE. You will also learn about the regulatory and reporting requirements for different businesses.
You will then progress on to prospective accounting which consists of developing management accounting techniques for decision making for the short term and long term. You will also learn how to analyse and interpret and explain basic financial information and use your analysis to make recommendations. This module is a core requirement for those studying the HND in Business. It aims to introduce you to a project management methodology that can be used to develop the plans for to a hypothetical but realistic project.
You will then examine operations models and concepts that will enable you to analyse real world operations, identify operational problems and suggest appropriate improvements.

It aims to introduce you to the international environment within which businesses operate and to provide you with appropriate conceptual models to enable you to apply the learning to understand and analyse real world international business decisions. This module is intended to answer two key questions for students - What is an organisation and how do people influence how organisations work?
It will also allow you the opportunity to further develop the skills you will need in order to be successful within an organisation. You will consider key aspects of organisational behaviour and apply these to case study situations. The information above reflects the currently intended course structure and module details.
