This course builds upon and extends the knowledge you have gained from your first and second year courses in accounting, and specifically considers various aspects of financial reporting. The course integrates theory, financial accounting standards, mechanical aspects of ‘number crunching’, relevant current activities taking place in the business environment, and research evidence on accounting issues, to provide you with a good understanding of why accounting is practised the way it is, while also focusing on key financial reporting standards and controversial issues relating to those topics.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course it is expected that you will be able to:

1. Explain a range of rationales for choices of accounting policies by preparers of financial statements;
2. Evaluate (local and international) financial accounting-related issues;
3. Understand and apply the New Zealand equivalents to the International Financial Reporting Standards for a range of advanced topics covered in the course; and
4. Explain aspects of non-financial reporting and other contemporary accounting issues covered in the course.

In summary, you should be able to demonstrate an understanding and awareness of advanced financial reporting and analysis within New Zealand and international contexts.
