This course
familiarizes students with accounting and financial concepts and the
application of financial techniques and analytical methods in the planning,
controlling and coordinating functions of managers. Having appropriate, timely,
and accurate financial information is the cornerstone of a great performance
management system. This course will introduce students to the word of corporate
finance and number driven financial metrics, enabling them not just to build
financial reports, but to be capable of conducting a thorough analysis about
the financial condition of the firm, explaining how and why results were
attained using an analytical and numerical lens of financial reporting. As
well, this course will illustrate how a Balanced Scored Card is designed and
maintained, through analytics about how businesses and organization create,
deliver, and appropriate value.
