Course Description

A650 - Accounting for Decision Makers

Many different types of economic decisions require accounting data. General-purpose financial statements inform outsiders about an organization’s economic status and performance while special-purpose accounting reports assist management in planning and controlling an organization’s activities.  This course acquaints students with the framework and process used to construct and understand the general-purpose financial statements, and highlights the linkage and use of special-purpose accounting reports for planning, control, and performance evaluation
