COURSE PREREQUISITES: Intermediate Accounting I, A311

TEXT: Intermediate Accounting, 9th ed., Kieso and Weygandt. Wiley & Sons.

OPTIONAL MATERIAL: The book store may stock the publisher's study guide to accompany the text. Although this is not required material for the course, some students may wish to examine the study guide to determine if they would benefit from using it.

COURSE GOAL: The purpose of this course is to present generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and how they form the basis upon which financial information published in annual reports is assembled, communicated, and interpreted.

OUTSIDE READING: The student should understand that readings from sources other than the textbook are essential to a proper understanding of the economic framework in which accounting principles are developed. It is recommended, therefore, that the student develop the habit of reading such periodicals as the "Journal of Accountancy", "Wall Street Journal", "Business Week", and other similar pertinent publications.

INTERNET USAGE: Students are strongly encouraged to activate their student email account. This capability is available for all IPFW students and provides another channel of communication to the instructor and other students. Moreover, through their email account, students can gain access to the World Wide Web, a resource that contains large collections of accounting information from a variety of sources. A popular web site for the accounting profession is: http://www.rutgers.edu/Accounting /raw/fasb/ which links the student to the FASB web site.

STUDENTS' RESPONSIBILITIES: This is the second in a two course sequence that introduces students to the theoretical framework of accounting principles and procedures and how they are used in the presentation of assets and liabilities (Intermediate Accounting I, A311) and in the presentation of owner's equity (Intermediate Accounting II, A312) in financial statements and related disclosures. As such, these two courses represent a foundation for much of the accounting work the student will encounter later in his or her academic career.

The material discussed in this course is rigorous and requires a great deal of time to complete problem assignments and fully understand the course material. Therefore, it is expected that the student view these courses in a professional manner and accept responsibility for thoroughly reading and studying the textbook and other related readings as well as completing on a timely basis the assignment material. Since class time will be devoted to the review of assigned material and presentation of new material, it is extremely important that students study and complete all reading and problem assignments prior to class.

The instructor of this course keeps regular office hours for student consultation; therefore, students who are experiencing difficulties with the course are encouraged to visit with the instructor during posted hours for individual assistance.
