Course Description
The Activity-Based Management self-study CPE course offers a comprehensive exploration of how to leverage activity-based costing and management for strategic advantage. By dissecting expenses at the activity level, managers gain access to a level of detail in financial information that is not achievable through traditional financial statements. This CPE course details the steps of implementing an activity-based costing model, distinguishes between activity-based costing and management, and identifies the types of activities within a business, providing a framework for more informed decision-making. Participants will learn how to apply activity-based management principles to both goods and services, understanding when this system yields the most significant benefits. Additionally, the CPE course covers the implementation of activity-based management recommendations, the importance of maintaining an activity dictionary, and the best practices for ensuring these initiatives drive corporate improvement. This knowledge empowers managers to not only improve operational efficiency but also to report results more accurately and navigate financial adversity with confidence.
