WHY ACCOUNTING?
What?
Accounting is the language of business; dealing with generating, analyzing and
communicating information about a company’s past activities and forecasting its
future performance. If you want to understand a firm’s business or assess its
value, you have to understand accounting! Distancing accounting from the
stereotype of back-room number crunching
