Complex Organizations 205 - Financial Accounting

The course, while using traditional accounting techniques and methodology, will focus on the needs of external users of financial information. The emphasis is on learning how to read, interpret, and analyze financial information as a tool to guide investment decisions. Concepts rather than procedures are stressed and class time will be largely devoted to problem solutions and case discussions. A basic knowledge of arithmetic (+,-,*,/) and a familiarity with a spreadsheet program is suggested.

Course limited to sophomores, juniors and seniors
