This is a full year module, which introduces students to certain principles and techniques of accounting. Although the module is intended as an introduction for students majoring in accounting it should also be of benefit to other students who wish to gain some insight into the practices of accounting.
The module will commence with a discussion of the nature and role of accounting and will consider who uses accounting information and for what purposes. After this, the module will be concerned with the processes used to record, summarise and present accounting data. The objective of this part of the module is to enable students to prepare company financial statements.
The module will also include discussion of the techniques that can be used to analyse and interpret financial statements. In addition, the need for and various sources of accounting regulation will be discussed.
The module comprises one lecture and one class per week as well as workshops offered fortnightly, over 20 weeks. The purpose of the lecture is twofold: first, to discuss and outline the appropriate analytical concepts and their ramifications and, second, to stimulate your interest and direct your reading. It is very important that students complete all the readings immediately after each lecture because these are an integral part of the course.
The purpose of the classes is for you to demonstrate that you can apply the analytical concepts and general principles to particular problems. These problems, which are a mixture of technical exercises and discussion topics, must be prepared in advance of the designated class. You should note that it may not be possible to cover the answers to all questions in class but, nevertheless, it is expected that students will attempt all the questions set. The purpose of the workshops is to answer your questions from the previous two weeks
In academic year 2020-2021 the delivery is likely to be different and involve online learning.
