As the field of cost accounting is evolving into cost management, today's business organizations expect students to analyze and interpret cost information. Passive, retrospective reporting of costs has become a small and diminishing part of the roll of the financial manager. Current and future accounting professionals and the organizations they serve demand a proactive approach to cost accounting that focuses on cost management.
More jobs are in financial analysis and business consulting.
As such, businesses want proactive people who think beyond the numbers. Students are learning that business expects more of them. Faculty must respond to help their graduates succeed. The satellite seminar offers a panel discussion on the impact of cost management has had on industry, and how to address related topics in the classroom. The first hour of the seminar will feature our panelists, and the second hour will feature questions and discussion from faculty all over the country.
