Accounting systems provide financial information critical to managing, valuing, and regulating businesses, government organizations, and households.

Considerable attention will be placed on economic concepts, among them present value and discounting, internal rate of return, risk analysis, normal profit as an economic cost, cost curves of a firm, and the cost of financial capital. Examples of the uses of accounting will include the mortgage crisis, social security and other retirement plans, Ponzi schemes, capital budgeting, and mergers and acquisitions. |
