Accounting 300 - Accounting Research and Communication (Section: C1)

Description: Reviews structured approaches and strategies (collectively, "professional tools") to improve effectiveness in accounting research, critical thinking, and communication. This course uses "real world" case studies to place accounting issues in a contemporary business context and to develop student expertise in the application of professional tools. Written assignments will emphasize issue identification, review and assessment of alternatives, understanding the "why" behind the rules/principles, and communicating findings and conclusions to different audiences. Oral assignments will involve question and answer sessions, individual presentations, and group projects to simulate work place activities. This course will incorporate certain international accounting standards to highlight areas of convergence and divergence with US GAAP. Prerequisite: ACCTG 100B and ACCTG 351B.
