    • Investors use accounting information in valuing stocks;
    • Bankers rely on accounting information in deciding whether to lend money to a business and in assessing the risk of the loan; and
    • Accounting information is crucial in evaluating the performance of employees at various levels in an organization
  • In making all of these decisions, an interdisciplinary understanding of the entire business is necessary. Toward this end, the course also introduces concepts from finance and economics (e.g., cash flow discounting, risk, valuation, and criteria for choosing among alternative investments) throughout the course, which will enable students to place accounting in the context of a business.
