This unit investigates the fundamentals of accounting at an introductory level. It aims to provide students with a user-focussed understanding of accounting information. The interactive format of the unit is designed to show that there are many uses of accounting data. The course moves from internal business planning, to an introduction to key accounting concepts, then a user focussed approach to understanding simple financial statements, working capital and evolving topics such as sustainability and corporate governance. The user-focussed course aims to provide desirable graduate attributes such as critical thinking and decision making skills through the various knowledge building tasks. Authentic assessment is used to evaluate and assist students in the learning process.
