Advanced Accounting ||
This course provides an examination of the interrelated topics of intercorporate investments, business combinations, consolidated financial statements, foreign currency transactions and foreign operations. The course also covers segmented reporting and not-for-profit accounting including fund accounting.
COURSE DESIGN
The course is designed as a senior accounting elective whose content parallels that of graduate-level accounting. Simply put: a student who takes this course doesn’t need to re-learn the concepts in a different way should they choose to pursue their CPA and/or business master’s degree.
GOAL
A goal for this course is for learners to see a connection between the academic content and their ability to solve problems in their lives outside of school. Financial reporting which is the product of these advanced accounting topics, serves as the ability to communicate where a company has been and provide insights into their capabilities of where they could go. Samantha has used concepts in this course to lead an accounting transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS for a public energy company shortly after becoming a designated accountant. She is thankful to both her university accounting professors and chartered accountant (now chartered professional accountant) educators for providing the tools and confidence to build her career. Knowledge is power.
VIDEO PLAYLIST
Below are lecture-style videos organized by section and topic. These represent the second “block” of the course visual presented above, right after the interactive LearnSmart pre-work. Given this is an advanced set of topics, introductory familiarity gained from the LearnSmart activites is suggested prior to watching the video mini-lectures.
These lectures are meant to act as the foundation for each advanced accounting topic in this course. From there students are expected to progress through the visual to apply, synthesize and practice the material to obtain proficiency.
