New Enterprise Accounting Issues

These include using accounting information for strategic planning, supporting decisions, and performance measurement and understanding the environment in which the company operates.

Reporting and Management Accounting Issues

As the business grows, the professional accountant takes on an even greater role in decision support and strategic decision-making. In this course students apply their individual and interpersonal skills to deal with more complex issues. They develop and use management accounting information to provide guidance to management on cost management systems, variance analysis, capital budgeting, and performance evaluation of responsibility centers.

17

Growth and Expansion Accounting Issues

Students provide the accounting and financial expertise needed to support the implementation of global business decisions. They add unique value to the management team by integrating liberal arts learning and global perspective taking with their accounting knowledge and expand this accounting knowledge to include international accounting standards.

Going Public Accounting Issues

Students critically examine the accounting, managerial, and social implications of taking a business public. They address complex accounting and reporting issues by integrating their accounting knowledge with their citizenship abilities in an ever widening circle of key stakeholders.
