AUSTRALIAN COLLEGE OF BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY ACC1100D – ACCOUNTING UNIT OUTLINE

DESCRIPTION: Welcome to ACC1100D Accounting 1. This unit is a foundation unit in the Bachelor of Business programme. Accounting 1 is an introductory unit designed to help students understand, prepare and use financial statements, including statements of financial position, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows. The unit covers a range of financial and managerial accounting concepts with an appropriate mix of theory and application. As a result of increasing reliance on technology and significant changes in the financial reporting environment in recent years, there has been a fundamental shift in the role of an accountant from that of a “number cruncher” towards a wide ranging advisory role. A qualification with accounting knowledge opens the door to a wide variety of careers. These could include the following choices: public practice (providing accounting services to clients); strategic business planning; cost and management accounting; stockbroking; auditing; treasury; taxation; information systems; superannuation; insurance; business consulting; mergers, acquisitions and corporate reconstructions; foreign exchange; financial planning; corporate planning; and management consulting.

LEARNING OUTCOMES: On successful completion of this unit students should be able to: 1. Analyze, process, record, and present financial accounting information in a manual format. 2. Apply cost behaviour analysis for managerial accounting applications. 3. Prepare an analysis and interpretation of financial statements at an introductory level. 4. State the basic differences between financial and managerial accounting. 5. State the concepts, assumptions, principles, and characteristics of conventional financial reporting systems and the role they play in assisting in the preparation of financial reports.
