| Course description |
Efficient operational and financial systems are essential to any organisation in the sport and recreation sector, irrespective of its position in the public, private or voluntary sector. Control of the operational and financial processes and ensuring their efficient and effective use require an understanding of both the concepts and practices of operations financial and management accounting, and of the contribution of theses processes to management decision-making. This module examines the application of theoretical concepts to a range of operations relevant to the delivery of sport and recreation services. |
