This is an advanced financial reporting course. This course seeks to deepen the students' understanding of financial reporting alternatives and how professionals can apply their professional judgement in ensuring the application is appropriate. The course will build on the very strong accounting undergraduate courses already taken by the students and will focus on integration and the development of professional skills in addition to providing additional technical content. Students will be expected to understand, interpret, and critically evaluate generally accepted accounting principles related to financial accounting topics. Cases will be used to develop and apply judgment, critical thinking, and problem solving skills. The technical competencies and enabling skills introduced in the course cover and go beyond those outlined in the CPA competency map.
