Financial Accounting

This course develops an understanding of the basic elements of financial accounting and its role in commerce and capital markets. Accounting helps entities measure and communicate their performance to others. Accounting is primarily a language; the language of business. The understanding of this language allows users from different fields analyze financial transactions, evaluate companies and financial products, and understand financial and macroeconomic events. In this spirit, the course's primary objective is to help students get familiar with this language, and to provide them with a deeper understanding of capital markets and the economic transactions they will encounter both as students and professionals.
