CONTENTS | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This course consists of three parts. The first part, Consolidated Accounts, 7.5 ECTS credits, comprises design of annual reports for different company types, from independent companies to business groups. Covered in connection with this are external requirements, in the form of laws, recommendations, instructions and good accounting practice, which governs the annual report. This part also highlights problems and methods in connection with international transactions. The second part, Accounting Theory, 7.5 ECTS credits, comprises a theoretical perspective on external accounting. Theory in this context means a logically coherent and empirically based concept frame. However, the field of external accounting currently lacks a single established theory. The field of external accounting instead contains a number of different approaches, which are presented in the course. Among the concepts in accounting theory, particular emphasis is on the result concept, due to its importance in present-day analysis of companies. The last part consists of the preparation and completion of a Bachelor Thesis, 15 ECTS credits. |
