Course summary

The study of accounting and finance helps to develop a methodical approach to important issues in society and the economy, such as the structure of organisations and markets. However, students of accounting and finance are being equipped with more than just computational skills. They learn to analyse ways in which management, shareholders, and various other stakeholders understand and operate organisations and institutions within the economy and society. Students also learn how markets allocate finance to firms and ventures and how and why institutions and governments monitor and regulate capital and information flows.
