This six-week summer course teaches basic concepts of corporate financial accounting and reporting. This information is widely used in making investment decisions, corporate and managerial performance assessment, and valuation of firms. Students perform economics-based analysis of accounting information from the viewpoint of the users of accounting information (especially senior managers) rather than the preparer (the accountant). This course is restricted to MIT Sloan Fellows in Innovation and Global Leadership.

This book is suitable for an undergraduate or MBA level Financial Accounting course.

The authors bring their collective teaching wisdom to bear in this book not by changing "the message"(financial accounting content), but by changing "the messenger" (the way the content is presented). The approach centers around utilizing the Socratic method, or simply put, asking and answering questions. The reason that this approach continues to be glorified after thousands of years is simple - it engages students and stresses understanding over memorization. So this text covers standard topics in a standard sequence, but does so through asking a carefully constructed series of questions along with their individual answers.

The is a comprehensive video series covering principles of financial accounting starting with financial accounting for sole-proprietorship, then partnerships and finally corporations.

Long Description:
Financial Strategy for Public Managers is a new generation textbook for financial management in the public sector.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"A company's economic performance varies over time But a company's executives can use earnings management to reduce the variability of reported earnings - a common measure of economic performance This process, known as “income smoothing,” has been debated by regulators and researchers Some worry that executives may use income smoothing to mask poor economic performance Others argue that income smoothing allows executives to report earnings that better reflect the company’s true ongoing performance A new study examines how income smoothing impacts debt contract design and financial covenant effectiveness to provide evidence on these issues The study finds that debt contracts to borrowers who smooth income are more likely to include an earnings-based debt covenant And income smoothers are less likely to experience a spurious covenant violation, where a debt covenant is violated even though credit risk has not increased These findings suggest that smoothed earnings are more useful in monitor.."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
