Abstract
Key terms: Cost accounting, budgeting and controlling
Objective
The aim is to become able to analyse one’s own company’s financial resources in detail, interpret key parameters for the current situation and test them.
Content
Financial management means achieving the target company output with costs that are as low as possible, and in the longer term to create secure asset and capital structures. The tasks involved in financial management in a planning office include establishing a well-structured accounting department, careful cost accounting, sound budgeting and an effective controlling system. On the basis of a practical financial structure for architecture and engineering offices, the “financial management” module presents the information needed to carry these tasks out in a professional and responsible way.
