It also is appropriate for entrepreneurs and business owners who desire a greater under- standing of what your accounting and financial information systems can and should be supplying them. Students gain the knowledge and skills necessary for interpreting reported accounting data and evaluating its impact, including an overview of the financial and managerial accounting process. Topics include fundamental accounting, accounting for sales, cost of sales and inventory, cash and internal control, depreciation method, financial statement analysis, and cash flow.
