Abstract

Abstract: This project course provided experiential realism in the study of managerial accounting and fundamental accounting relevance essential for integration into an organization's management team. The experiment created an environment that reinforced the fundamental theories, ideas, and concepts necessary for the contextualization of the accounting cycle from a manufacturing perspective. The project highlighted the role of technology in fiscal management. Finally, there is preliminary evidence of improved knowledge retention based on improved exit exam performance.
