Accounting and Finance Course is based on text and video learning materials by Academy Europe.
The purpose of this course is to provide a straightforward but thorough introduction to accounting and finance for executives and managers who are studying these subjects, formally, for the first time. It is an entry-level text to be used before moving on to more advanced material.
A high degree of practicality and relevance are introduced with a strong ‘real world’ flavour supported by examples from leading international companies. The glossary of terms is designed to be as comprehensive as possible so that readers can obtain clear guidance at a time when they most need it.
The course is arranged in four parts. The first, ‘The Financial Reporting Environment and an Introduction to Financial Statements’, sets the external context within which financial statements are prepared and explains their meaning and significance.
The second part, ‘Financial Statements in More Detail’, looks at the published reports of Unilever. It provides an in-depth review of profit and loss accounts, balance sheets and cash flow statements using reallife examples from a major international business.
The third part, ‘Financial Analysis’, concentrates on the use of financial indicators to assess both the strengths and weaknesses of a business and to gain an insight into how financial performance might be improved.
The fourth part, ‘Management Accounting’, covers the use of management information for decision-making purposes, as well as budgetary control and investment appraisal (the financial evaluation of capital investment projects).
Dear Students,

In addition, these courses will also focus on the philosophical background for the development and use of the theoretical background and are thus to be understood as partly complementary to the material of the course notes. It is assumed and strongly suggested that the students study and become familiar with the course notes.
