Position Summary:

The overall objective of this course is to provide students with an integrated framework for preparing, analyzing, and interpreting financial information and financial statements. This framework will be applied in a financial accounting context which is primarily concerned with providing financial information to a business's external stakeholders. These external stakeholders include shareholders, creditors, customers, suppliers, governments, and others. The course spends a considerable amount of time studying the four financial statements used by

these stakeholders for decision-making purposes. The four financial statements are: 1) The Statement of Financial Position, 2) The Statement of Comprehensive Income, 3) The Statement of Changes in Equity and 4) The Statement of Cash Flows. In the course, students will gain a thorough understanding of the items in the four financial statements and the economic events and related accounting decisions underlying them. These include the judgment required to make these decisions and the factors that influence them. By the end of the course, students should feel comfortable with the various components of a company's annual report and be able to make comparisons with other firms across different periods.
