Description

This course is primarily for the users rather than the preparers of accounting information. The focus is on the understanding and the use of accounting information; the composition and meaning of the financial statements prepared for resource providers in accordance with the law and contractual arrangements; and accounting systems and reports designed for the decision makers within an organisation.

Note: Instead of ACCT5901, students may enrol in ACCT5930, which is a more technical introductory accounting course. Students who wish to complete the special program in Professional Accounting or who wish to study more advanced financial accounting courses, such as ACCT5970, should start with ACCT5930 rather than ACCT5901.
