Accounting & Financial Reporting is a course about accounting to a firm’s external constituencies for people who intend to become managers. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to be able to determine, assess and evaluate firm performance, liquidity and financial position. Although it is not intended as a course for people who want to become accountants, students will benefit the most since it improves their understanding of how accounting concepts and practices are perceived and used by managers.
During the course we will focus on how financial accounting systems work. Among the topics to be covered are an exploration of the content and structure of financial statements and their analysis.
Accounting & Financial Reporting may be the first course in accounting for most of you. For this reason, the two basic objectives of the course are:
To indicate the usefulness of financial accounting information as communication mechanism.
To prepare students to obtain additional knowledge and to facilitate subsequent learning with regard to the understanding of financial statements and the main methods of their analysis and evaluation.
