Drawing upon cost accounting, mathematics, operations research, economics, and the behavioral sciences, Riahi-Belkaoui answers the call for a unique, multifaceted approach to the study of management accounting. His goal: to enhance performance in the essential tasks of cost estimation, allocation, planning, control, and performance evaluation. He covers the traditional techniques, but expands into quantitative methods and applications, then extends further into the behavioral unification of these techniques. His book is state of the art, ingenious in the way it adapts quantitative methods' solutions to traditional cost accounting topics, and innovative in its use of the behavioral implications. The result is an important resource for professionals, academics, and upper-level students in the field. Riahi-Belkaoui arranges his various techniques chapter by chapter. First, he looks at cost allocation and then at cost-volume profit analysis under stochastic conditions. In Chapter three he treats regression for cost estimation; in Chapter Four, the learning curve for the same purpose. He takes up advanced planning analysis in Chapter Five, advanced control analysis in Chapter Six, and decentralizing and performance evaluation in Chapter Seven. He then finishes with an important discussion of transfer pricing.

Rapidly changing conditions in the internal and external environments that an organisation faces mean that managers require information that is not only timely but which allows them to be flexible too.

Advanced Management Accounting will inspire the reader to ask questions about all aspects of management accounting and will help management accountants to meet the challenge of current information needs. The second edition contains considerable and updated coverage of quantitative and qualitative techniques, specifically performance evaluation and measurement, capital asset acquisition, the behavioural effects of information and activity-based costs and management. Designed in an open and flexible style, Advanced Management Accounting can be customised to cater for any order of coverage through the combination of several chapters. Being an advanced text, some background knowledge is assumed, making it ideal for senior level undergraduates and postgraduate programmes.

The calculation and interpretation of the full range of cost accounting variances is covered, together with the formal analysis of the decision to investigate variances. The way in which standard costing information is recorded in the accounts is also dealt with in depth, as this step is essential to a full appreciation of the role of standard costing.
