The course explores how costs are measured and viewed, how costs relate to revenues, and how both costs and revenues will react to proposed business actions. The course covers a variety of topics related to the measurement of operational results, including how measurement can motivate appropriate business behavior. It challenges students to use their newly-acquired skills to evaluate the design and measurement of business operations, to select beneficial tactical actions, and to make strategic business decisions.  Advanced Accounting (ACC4530) extends the in-depth study of accounting concepts and techniques which began in Intermediate Accounting I and II.
