Accounting for Decision Making by University of Michigan
You'll begin by answering the two "big questions" of accounting: "What do I have?" and "How did I do over time?" in this course. You'll learn how the two most important financial statements, the balance sheet and the income statement, are designed to answer these concerns, before moving on to how individual transactions combine to form these financial statements.
You'll begin to get a more nuanced grasp of certain components of doing a company, such as completing a sale or creating inventory, after you've gained a general understanding of accounting and financial statements. You will build your grasp of accounting by considering many of the more common operations of a firm, and you will explore these concepts by applying them to various sorts of transactions. You'll be ready to return to the overall financial statements and use them as informational tools, including constructing ratios, once you've mastered these specific principles.
You can take this course on its own or as part of the Finance for Strategic Decision-Making Executive Education program's residential component.
