Course objectives
In the conditions of market economy the financial accounting is a basic diagnostic tool that enables us to analyse and evaluate a financial situation of economically active subjects. The double-entry method and accrual principle of accounting gives the management a complex view of the financial health of companies (corporations and institutions) and results of their management without regard to cash flows. Its objective is to give a fair and true view of assets and liabilities, costs and revenues, equity capital and net income of economic entities.
The aim of the course is to make students familiar with the basic theoretical aspects of accounting, its philosophy, accounting environment and tasks that it should fulfil as one of the basic instruments of financial management.
At the of the course students should be able to:
- understand generally accepted principles, presumptions and principles of the accounting, its functions, basic categories and methods of reflecting economic phenomena in the accounting;
- apply accounting techniques of everyday economic transactions;
- specify economic categories of assets and liabilities and impacts of their changes on the balance sheet, costs and revenues, cash flow and realized profit;
- apply basic knowledge about the ways of reflecting assets and capital, valuation methods, long-term assets depreciation, creation of reserves and adjusting items and preparation of accounting statements. The course is conducted in the context of an ongoing process of world and European accounting harmonisation and reflects impacts of a tax system on accounting.
