Course Description
To help students gain an overview of the entire accounting process in the real world and to become competent financial managers able to apply their knowledge to the situations they will encounter in the workplace.

The length of the paper is defined by instructor and should follow APA formatting guidelines. No scanned work is accepted, no exceptions. • Only posts made to the Discussion Board during the week that questions are assigned will be considered. • All case problems/assignments must be submitted to the appropriate Assignments Link in Blackboard by 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) on or before the due date. • ***Late Policy***: Please be timely in submitting your assignments. I will always accept assignments a day or two early; however, I will deduct 10% for each day an assignment is late. For example, if you prepare an assignment that would earn 20 points, and I receive it two days late, you will only receive 16 points versus 20 points. After four days, the assignment will no longer be accepted, and you will receive a “0”. There are no exceptions to this policy. • At the conclusion of week 11, all work must be submitted by midnight (EST) on Sunday. No work will be accepted after the course ends.
