Présentation

Prérequis
Prerequisites for this course are a good understanding of financial reports as well as a good application of the accounting techniques necessary to set up financial statements.
Objectifs
The learning goal of this course is to equip students with strong management skills (AOL 5.B., 5.C., 5.D.) to set up and fully interpret financial statements with regard to more advanced topics such as leasing, revenue recognition for loyalty programs, impairment on CGU’s, employee benefits and financial statement disclosures. Furthermore, at the end of this course, students should be able to evaluate firms in general and their reporting more specifically so that this can be used for decision making purposes.
Présentation
