    Description
    This is the study of accounting as an information system, examining why it is important and how it is used by investors, creditors, and others to make decisions. The course covers the accounting information system, including recording and reporting of business transactions with a focus on the accounting cycle and the application of generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements, and statement analysis. Students will analyze issues relating to asset, liability, and equity valuation; and revenue and expense recognition, cash flow, internal controls, and ethics and will record financial transactions and interpret financial statements. This course meets the accounting-related or business related course requirements needed to sit for the CPA exam. C-ID: ACCT 110.
