Survey of Accounting Analytics

Catalog description

Although businesses are accustomed to using the standard financial statements (e.g., balance sheet, profit and loss statement, budget, accounts receivable and revenue and expenses) to report on financial activities, businesses seek additional targeted, timely, and actionable data. In this course, students will study tools and techniques that can be applied to accounting data to provide information for managing risk, improving business processes and efficiency, reducing operating costs, and optimizing the business.
