Accounting for Managers

X421.5 (3 semester units in Business Administration)

A requirement in the Certificate Program in Business Administration

This course begins with a three-session overview of financial accounting, including a look at the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows. Although the course does not focus on preparing these statements, you examine what they mean and how they relate to each other. This course is designed for people with no accounting background but with some aptitude for numbers.

After learning the basics of financial accounting, you examine how accounting information can be used for effective management. Topics include basic accounting principles, understanding financial statements, income measurement, cost-volume-profit relationships, budgeting, cost allocation, profit- and cost-center accounting, accounting for planning and control, and data for decision-making.
