Accounting Analytics

Catalog description

The use of accounting and related data to provide empirical evidence on business problems is investigated. The course focuses on the role of the business person rather than the technology person in data analytics. That said, technology is still an important part of the course. It is taught with a hands-on approach and an emphasis on solving problems. The objective is to take advantage of accounting data to solve one or more business problems. All aspects of the data analytics process, including issue identification, data preparation, data analysis, and the communication of results are explored.
