Data Analytics for Accountants II

Data Analytics for Accountants II equips students with the skills needed to analyze and present data to make reliable forecasts and propose strategies. Accountants are no longer limited to being the chroniclers of an organization’s profits and expenses; they now leverage the power of data to predict the future and advise leaders on appropriate actions. This course will emphasize auditing, managerial accounting, tax accounting and financial reporting as the learner completes a professional scenario that requires predictive analysis and presenting a course of action. As part of the Master of Accounting program, this course will cover content that appears in the data analysis portions of the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exams. Data Analytics for Accountants I is a prerequisite for this course.
