Module Rationale

concerned comprise of a number of dedicated pathways / routes the status of the module on each should also
be made clear.
This module is a new compulsory module within the MSc Accounting and Management programme. The rationale for this
module (for semester B) is to provide students with an understanding as to the nature and evolution of managerial agency and
the extent to which managerial and investor interests align. Drawing upon this evidence this module considers the main drivers
of value creation, and how this is managed from an accounting perspective.
