International Accounting

This is perhaps the area of accounting where the most significant changes are occurring and these are going at a rapid pace, so there will be class discussion of relevant current events along with presentation of course material.

In this course, students will examine the accounting principles of several countries, international accounting reporting standards (IFRS), foreign currency translation, global auditing standards, international financial statement analysis, managerial planning and control, financial risk management, international taxation and transfer pricing. Students will become knowledgeable about a number of international financial reporting standards through both of the textbooks and lectures. They will do this through a combination of studying the best textbook in international accounting, homework problems presented to the class, participation in class discussions and quizzes.
