Introduction to Financial Accounting
Foundation Management
ACC 1300 is the required introduction to financial accounting course. Financial accounting
involves the complete range of activity a company uses to prepare the financial statements it
provides to people outside of the company, including shareholders, creditors, the government,
customers, and suppliers. Students will learn how financial events (transactions) are identified,
recognized, classified, recorded, and summarized into financial reports. These financial reports
consist of the income statement, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows, and the
statement of stockholders' equity (as well as the associated explanatory statement footnotes).
Students will learn both how to prepare and how to analyze and interpret these financial reports.
Students will learn the language and terminology used in financial accounting that is prevalent in
the financial press. Finally, the role ethics plays in the reporting of financial results will often be
discussed. Many business scandals (such as Enron, WorldComm, and Tyco) result from
falsifying financial accounting reports.
Course offered each fall and spring.

ACC 1300 is the required introduction to financial accounting course. Financial accounting
involves the complete range of activity a company uses to prepare the financial statements it
provides to people outside of the company, including shareholders, creditors, the government,
customers, and suppliers. Students will learn how financial events (transactions) are identified,
recognized, classified, recorded, and summarized into financial reports. These financial reports
consist of the income statement, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows, and the
statement of stockholders' equity (as well as the associated explanatory statement footnotes).
Students will learn both how to prepare and how to analyze and interpret these financial reports.
Students will learn the language and terminology used in financial accounting that is prevalent in
the financial press. Finally, the role ethics plays in the reporting of financial results will often be
discussed. Many business scandals (such as Enron, WorldComm, and Tyco) result from
falsifying financial accounting reports.
Course offered each fall and spring.
