Accounting - particularly through its influence on the various functions of the company - is an essential information system in the business world.

Developing this familiarity implies:
To learn the accounting "language" , with its specific vocabulary and grammar;
To know how the financial statements are prepared;
To be able to then use the information contained in the financial statements in an analysis based on the overall interpretation of these statements, the ratios and the notes;
And to feel more at ease with accounting documents such as annual reports.
Themes covered
- General presentation of accounting and financial statements
- Familiarization with the main accounting principles (including the fundamental equation)
- Preparation of simple financial statements
- Analysis of financial statements (particularly with the use of ratios)
