Developing basic financial literacy skills and an appreciation of accountability is necessary for managers, executives and board members of organisations across the for-profit, non-profit and public sectors. Being able to analyse and interpret financial and annual reports is critical to understand the financial position of an organisation, and therefore practice good governance, decision making, transparency, the achievement of an organisation's purpose, strategic decision making, and communicating with both internal and external stakeholders. The unit also equips students with financial and non-financial knowledge and skills used by managers that supports broader operational decision making, e.g., budgeting, sustainability reporting, and performance reporting. Specific financial and accountability challenges which face for profit, non-profit and public sector organisations are also examined.","title-full":"AYN471 Financial Literacy and Decision Making","title-short":"Financial Literacy and Decision Making","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=AYN471&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=AYN471","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=AYN471"},"year":2025,"years":[2024,2025]}
