ECON 099 - Principles of Accounting

FC SSCI QFR

4 credits
Accounting is the creation, reporting, and interpretation of financial information. The course will show how accounting data can be used by people outside an organization - for example, investors and regulators - to evaluate its financial performance. It will also show how accounting data can be used within an organization as a planning and management tool. The course will be particularly useful to those interested in careers in business, economics, arts and non-profit management, law, and government.
Prerequisites & Notes: Students cannot earn credit for 099 if they have taken Econ 109. This course counts as general SS credits but does not count toward the 8 full economics courses required for the economics major.
This course is appropriate for new students.
