Abstract

The case has several objectives: to deepen appreciation of accounting theory; to examine the conventional distinction between managerial and financial accounting; to show how external accounts can be understood as a regulatory mechanism from the perspective of the managerial task of an organization; to deepen appreciation of developments in accounting theory and increase awareness of fuzziness in the distinction between management and financial accounting; to raise ethical or politico ethical issues; to encourage the exploration of further parallels between financial and management accounting systems; to question contemporary accounting practices.
