Course Description
In-depth distance learning course of 8 units
This course has FREE Online Videos Associated with it.
Accounting is designed to help those with an interest in a business, or other organisation, to assess its financial position and performance. It aims to communicate relevant economic information to interested parties and, as a result, improve the quality of decisions that are made. Unless accounting achieves this purpose, it would really be a waste of effort to provide the information. In this module we consider the major financial statements that are produced by businesses on a regular basis to help in the decision making process. These financial statements are designed to provide an overview of the business�s financial health and are widely used by managers, owners, suppliers, customers and others. We consider the main principles underpinning these statements as well as their strengths and weaknesses. In addition, we consider how these statements can be analysed in order to come to some conclusions about the financial health of a business.
Tutor Support
With this course you will have unlimited access to your own personal tutor who specialises in their field of study. It is your personal tutor's role to ensure that you receive constructive feedback and to deal with any queries you may have. You are more than welcome to telephone, fax or email your personal tutor.
You will also have access to a dedicated and friendly team of administrators and course advisors who offer sound and professional guidance and advice when you need it. This ensures that you will never feel neglected and that you will always succeed!
Assessment Method
After each lesson there will be a question paper, which needs to be completed and submitted to your personal tutor for marking. This method of continual assessment ensures that your personal tutor can consistently monitor your progress and provide you with assistance throughout the duration of the course.
