Graduate Accounting Cluster

Students examine generally accepted accounting concepts and their influences upon the preparation, analysis, and use of financial statements and reports.

This course applies generally accepted accounting practices to the internal use of accounting data by managers for planning, control, and decision making purposes.

This course will use case analysis to illustrate and describe what accountants do and provide a basis for discussion about alternatives and implications of accounting standards, procedures and reports. The focus will be on the manager as a decision maker, using accounting as a strategic tool.
