This course is compulsory on the BSc in Accounting and Finance. This course is not available as an outside option nor to General Course students.
This course is delivered through a combination of weekly lectures and classes in the Michaelmas, Lent, and Summer terms. Each teaching session contains a variety of technical content and practical exercises. This year, some or all of this teaching may be delivered using a combination of online virtual interactive (synchronous) lectures and classes as an alternative to face-to-face teaching due to social-distancing or other pandemic-related restrictions that may need to be observed.
There will be several online tests (?quizzes?) to test the student?s knowledge and progress on a formative basis for feedback. Written answers to numerical problems and discussion questions will be expected weekly; some of the written work will be collected during classes for marking and feedback.
A detailed reading list will be made available on Moodle for each part of the course nearer the time of its scheduled start. Illustrative texts include Atrill, P. and McLaney, E. (2019) Financial Accounting for Decision Makers, 9th edition, Pearson; Atrill, P. and McLaney, E. (2018) Management Accounting for Decision Makers, 9th edition, Pearson; Atrill, P.
