MBA 501

Catalog description

Integrates financial and managerial accounting topics with corporate governance issues to demonstrate how various stakeholder groups use accounting information to make decisions. These stakeholders include managers, board members, investors, creditors, and government regulators. Our focus is interpreting accounting information, rather than creating it. Topics include interpreting the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows, the implications of cost structure, planning, performance evaluation, and management responsibility for internal control over financial statement information. Mastery of pre-course instruction in accounting is assumed when the course begins.
