This course will develop your abilities to interpret financial information, to communicate financial information, and to understand the system that produces this information.  After completing this course, you will have a basic understanding of how business transactions are recorded in accounting records and how these records are summarized through the preparation of financial statements.  More importantly, you will learn to appreciate the need for accounting standards and how their end products -- financial statements -- are analyzed to assess the financial status of an organization.
