Accounting Fundamentals II
While it is true that accounting professionals are scarce, those with
corporate accounting experience are even more rare. This course will build
on the knowledge you gained in Charlene Messier’s online Accounting
Fundamentals course (or another introductory accounting course) to
provide you with a solid understanding of corporate accounting practices.
In Accounting Fundamentals II, you’ll explore such topics as special
journals, uncollectible accounts receivable, plant assets, depreciation,
notes and interest, accrued revenue and expenses, dividends, retained
earnings, and various financial reports for corporations. If you’re
interested in increasing your financial awareness and accountability while
also gaining a marketable skill, this is the course for you.
