Financial Accounting: Advanced Topics

Illinois organizes this intermediate course by major sections of financial reporting. Long-term assets lead into obligations and equity, with cash flows completing the sequence. It is a continuation for learners who want more detail than an initial transaction-recording course provides.

What you will learn

• Analyze accounting issues involving long-term assets.
• Explain the reporting of liabilities and shareholders’ equity.
• Connect those balances with a cash-flow statement.
