Corporate Financial Reporting

1.5 Credits · Level: Graduate, Juris Doctor

The course focuses on how corporate financial information is produced and presented to external stakeholders within required disclosures (mainly within financial statements and their accompanying notes). Once you understand how the information is produced, we will turn to how you can use it to understand and evaluate a firm’s operating, investing, and financing decisions. What you learn in this course should help you better understand the financial information of your current (or future) employer and its suppliers, customers, and competitors. Within the MBA Program, the course builds upon ACCT 5500 , integrates with some topics in FINC 6500, and serves as a foundation for future coursework that involves the consideration of corporate financial performance and condition.
