Outline and Purpose of the Course In this practicum, we will learn about the system of management accounting, which is a mechanism for operating organizations such as companies and local governments, and how to use it. To achieve organizational objectives, they must be clarified by the organization as a whole and acted on in a planned manner based on facts. Management accounting is a basic mechanism for acting and learning in a planned manner with goals in an uncertain reality. In this practicum, in the first half of the term, we will learn about the fundamentals and systems of management accounting by reading the text circle, and in the second half, we plan to deepen our understanding by engaging in group research.
