Financial Accounting Part 1 & Part 2 (LinkedIn Learning – Lynda)

Professors Jim Stice and Kay Stice of Brigham Young University provide this financial accounting course in two sections. They have a combined teaching experience of more than 70 years in accounting and have created this accounting training course to provide business professionals, such as managers, analysts, and entrepreneurs, the confidence they need to use financial data to drive strategic decision-making.

In Part 1, Jim and Kay use real-world examples to explain financial statements, the balance sheet, the income statement, and the statement of cash flows. As a result, students have access to Microsoft, Walmart, and other companies' financial reports. They help students comprehend the difference between net income and cash flow, as well as the importance of the credits and debits system in everyday accounting. They aid in the exploration of assets and liabilities, the interpretation of financial statements, the evaluation and adjustment of journal entries, and the preparation of one's own financial statements. This MBA-level accounting course is loaded with case studies and insights to help learners bridge the gap between accounting academics and real-world application.

Part 2 delves deeper into the realm of financial accounting with Jim and Kay. They teach students how to use financial ratio analysis to identify a company's strengths and shortcomings, as well as areas for improvement and risk, by looking at its financial statements. They also go through cash flow analysis, financial statement forecasts, business valuation, and other topics.
