Financial accounting is often called the "language of business." This subject area provides the essential framework for recording, summarizing, and reporting economic events. It is designed for individuals seeking to understand how financial statements are prepared and how business performance is communicated to stakeholders.
This knowledge domain encompasses the complete accounting cycle, starting from the analysis of transactions to the preparation of post-closing trial balances. Key concepts explored include the fundamental accounting equation, the rules of debits and credits, and the preparation of the four main financial statements: Income Statement, Statement of Retained Earnings, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flows. The curriculum also delves into specialized topics such as inventory costing methods (FIFO, LIFO, Weighted Average), the management of cash and receivables, and the accounting for long-term liabilities like bonds. Learners can choose to validate their grasp of these industry-standard concepts through an optional, comprehensive certification exam.
