Ac­count­ing

Course content

Objectives

This course consists of two sub-elements of accounting. One sub-element relates to external financial accounts and the analysis of these while the other relates to the internal management accounting for planning and decision-making.

Class preparation

The material for this course consists of articles, cases and video material which has been developed to support the learning experience. Students are expected to be acquainted with the key concepts for discussion before each class.

Class participation

The lectures will be conducted in a dialogue manner. Issues and models will be discussed with high student involvement. Cases and exercises will take up the vast majority of the teaching time because accounting is an applied discipline that is best learned by doing.

A thorough analysis of the issues in the exercises/cases, and suggestions for their solution, will be expected. The participants’ job experience can often be a particularly useful source for adding to our mutual understanding, and is therefore most welcome!
