Understanding the Basics of Financial Accounting

Are you interested in learning about finance and accounting, but don’t have a financial background? Learn the basics from Columbia Business School’s Doron Nissim, the Ernst and Young Professor of Accounting and Finance, who will introduce you to the key principles of financial accounting and the primary financial statements reported by companies.

You’ll walk away with an understanding of:

• The objectives, uses, and products of financial accounting
• Key accounting assumptions, considerations, and constraints
• Accrual accounting (the accounting basis used by companies) versus cash accounting

Professor Nissim teaches in our Finance and Accounting for the Nonfinancial Executive program. Learn more: https://execed.business.columbia.edu/...
