COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course will consist of a series of lectures. You are expected to come to class prepared and participate in the discussions.
Large amounts of materials will be covered quickly and each session builds on previous ones. It is therefore important for you
to remain current and master the basic concepts early in the course in order to grasp the more difficult ones later on in the
course.
Success in mastering financial reporting concepts is greatly enhanced by solving practical problems. You will only benefit from
class discussions if you have first attempted to solve some problems on your own. Do not approach the course with attitude of
memorizing rules or particular solution techniques. We will provide in-class examples and self-study problems that are designed
to help you understand and apply the key concepts. Examination questions will test your understanding of those concepts, but
by posing problems or conceptual questions that differ from those that you have seen before.
