Financial accounting is sometimes called the “language of business”; it is the language in which managers communicate a company’s financial and economic information to external parties such as shareholders and stakeholders. No one working in a business can afford to be financially illiterate. Whether you are running a business for yourself, working in a management role, or just starting your career, it is important to understand financial information and be able to communicate with accountants, auditors, and financial managers. You want to talk business! This course will provide you with the basics of the language of accounting. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to read and interpret financial statements for business diagnosis and decision-making.

Remember, as with any language, becoming an accounting professional requires constant practice.
