Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.
This course is relevant to a general business career, but is particularly relevant to careers that involve the use of financial statements. The specific accounting topics covered includes: Statement of Cash Flows; Income Taxes; Divestitures; Financial Assets (Investments and Hedges); Leases; Non-Financial Assets; Revenue Recognition; Pensions; Equity-based Compensation; and EPS. My objective is to enable you to become more knowledgeable, skeptical consumers of financial information. This objective will be achieved by a combination of lectures and analyzing and discussing cases that are based on actual financial statements.
