7830 FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY
(4 semester hours credit)
This course is intended to present students with basic skills and terminology in financial accountability, and then allow them to apply these skills in practical critical thinking exercises, decision situations, and other higher levels of learning. Topics include both financial and managerial accounting concepts. The course begins with an understanding of the various financial statements and the basic accounting process. A more in-depth coverage of assets, liabilities, equities, revenues, and expenses leads to financial statement analysis. The course transitions into foundational managerial accounting concepts, including: cost behavior, budgets, performance evaluation, differential analysis, and capital budgeting. Students practice these skills through an application assignment.
