Introduction
This unit provides the opportunity for you to acquire an understanding of business from an accounting perspective and to begin your development of a coherent body of knowledge in accounting and finance.
You will develop skills in planning and decision making, as well as learning about how to communicate your findings in an accounting context.
This unit is designed specifically to provide you with an understanding of the role that accounting plays in various aspects of financial decision‐making in business. A user perspective is adopted in which the outputs of the accounting process are explained and interpreted in both internal and external financial decision contexts. You will learn how:
- profit and wealth are measured in a business context;
- the major financial statements are constructed; and
- the outputs of the accounting process may be interpreted and used for key business decision‐ making.
