FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING

4 credit hours

The financial accounting model is designed to depict the economic reality of individual business firms.  Financial accounting information is the fundamental source of credible, firm-specific information set in the economy. It supports the existence of vibrant capital markets and facilitates the communication of information between firms and outside stakeholders, including investors, creditors, customers, suppliers and regulators. 

Accounting supplies critical information that provides a basis for managing organizations, securing capital from investors, supporting strategic decision-making, analyzing competitors and customers, and disciplining the behavior of corporate executives. This course will increase your sophistication in extracting information from financial reports and communicating the financial implications of decisions and events with others, both inside and outside of your organization.
