The Management Accounting & Supply Chain Strategies Training Course addresses this critical evolution by linking accounting insight directly to operational and logistics performance.

This training course is designed to provide participants with a solid understanding of Supply Chain Management Accounting (SCMA) and the practical application of financial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) across supply chain and logistics activities. It presents a structured approach to developing and implementing an SCMA framework, ensuring that accounting data supports operational decision-making. Participants will explore how cost control, inventory management, performance measurement, and value creation are interconnected within modern supply chains, enabling organisations to enhance resilience and competitive advantage.

Through real-world examples and applied tools, this Supply Chain Management Accounting course highlights the financial drivers behind supply chain success and equips professionals to translate accounting information into actionable operational strategies.

Key learning highlights include:

  • Understanding the integration of management accounting with supply chain operations
  • Applying financial KPIs at both strategic and operational levels
  • Linking inventory, cost structures, and financial performance
  • Developing an effective Supply Chain Management Accounting framework
  • Supporting sustainable value creation through informed accounting practices
