Description
Our goal is to help you develop a framework for understanding financial, managerial, and tax reports.
The course goal is divided into five subordinate challenges that can help you organize the way you learn accounting:
- The record keeping and reporting challenge
- The computation challenge
- The judgment challenge
- The usage challenge
- The search challenge
The course adopts a decision-maker perspective of accounting by emphasizing the relation between accounting data and the underlying economic events generating them. Restricted to first-year Sloan MBA students.
