Teaching and Learning Approach

This course will be flavored up by using real life stories of my many years’ experience of working in industry. We will be using Moodle as our main portal. I have built in many links for your convenience, and will continue to add more information into Moodle as we work through the semester. This is an interesting time in the accounting world. In Canada the three legacy accounting bodies have merged in to one (CPA) and through the world many countries are looking to unify the Accounting Standards. We will cover a chapter each week, and I will demonstrate how to solve them problems using Excel in class.
