MSc Management, Accounting and Finance

By Abbie Sleath, Marketing and Events Coordinator
School of Management, University of Leicester, UK




Money makes the business world go around

To fully understand business you need to understand finance and accounting. Management and money are intrinsically linked and in the current economic climate management has become more demanding. Managers are facing increasing challenges when considering financial and accounting information not to mention dealing with rising prices, shrinking margins and the intensifying prioritisation of profitability as the main business goal.

According to research by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) in March 2012, 93% of employers believe low level management skills are having a direct impact on their business achieving its goals.

Understanding where and how value is added and captured lies at the heart of strategic management. By combining the techniques and theories of accounting and finance with those of management enables integrated understanding of organisation process, and facilitates managers to analyse situations and make sound strategic decisions to aid their company in meeting its goals.
