Description for Information Quality and Management Accounting: A Simulation Analysis of Biases in Costing Systems (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)
Paperback. One of the main aims of management accounting is to provide managers with accurate information in order to provide a good basis for decision-making. In this book, the impact of the sophistication of traditional costing systems on error propagation in the case of a set of input biases is investigated. Series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems. Num Pages: 211 pages, 12 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: KFCM; KJQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 159 x 13. Weight in Grams: 324.
One of the main aims of management accounting is to provide managers with accurate information in order to provide a good basis for decision-making. There is evidence that the information provided by management accounting systems (MAS) is distorted and the occurrence of biases in accounting information is widely accepted among users of MAS. At the same time, the intensity and the frequency of use of MAS increase, too. Consequently, the quality of the provided information is critical. The focus of this simulation study is twofold. On the one hand, the impact of the sophistication of traditional costing systems on error ... Read more
