Accounting and Financial Management

Author: John Parkinson Ph.D., Professor of Accounting, York University
Instructor: Mike Cornacchia

Course Outline

Financial and management accounting knowledge is necessary to enable Human Resources Managers (HRM) to do their job effectively. In some cases, where the HRM are expected to carry out the activity, a detailed knowledge is required. This would be the case, for example, in respect of the preparation of operating budgets within HR, and the interpretation of control information based on those budgets. In other cases the HRM is expected to have a working understanding of the challenges faced by fellow members of the management team, where a familiarity with the concepts is more important than detailed knowledge.

In this online credit course, you will access multimedia lectures, participate in a discussion board, submit a midterm assignment and write a final exam, all online. See the course outline for full details.
