ACC-1010 Principles of Financial Accounting

This course introduces students to key accounting principles used to record real-world business transactions, prepare financial statements, and interpret a company's financial performance.

In this course, students learn how to prepare the financial reports that are used by external parties in real-world situations. Key points of study include the accounting cycle, merchandising operations, cash and other financial assets, long-term assets including property and intangibles, current and long-term liabilities, components of stockholders' equity, and the statement of cash flows.

Principles of Finance serves as an introduction to financial management. Financial management is concerned with value and, when applied to firms, studies financial decision making and its impact on the value of the firm.

This course considers specific financial decisions such as selecting among alternative investments (i.e., capital budgeting), the sources of the firm's finances (i.e., the optimal capital structure), the management of current assets and liabilities (i.e., working capital), and the tools of financial analysis. The course emphasizes analytical tools and their use in solving financial problems.
