Module Rationale
Provide a rationale for the introduction of the module and specify for which programme(s) of study the module
is designed and whether it will be offered as a core, compulsory or option module. If the programme(s)
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 A) is to facilitate an understanding of how to conceptualise business models within the discourse of
accounting. It is an innovative module which meets the demands of professional accounting bodies which have, in recent years,
argued for disclosure and risk assessment to be located within a business model framework. For example reports by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA-USA) and European Finance Research
Group (EFRAG)
