BA 202A is an introduction to financial accounting at a fairly sophisticated level.
Emphasis is on the interpretation of accounting figures.
Concerns are with the measurement of income, assets, liabilities, and owner's equity for external reporting. The primary goal of the course is to develop each student's ability to understand, interpret, and analyze the financial statements of business enterprises. In addition, there is one 50-minute discussion section each Monday. If you have a solid foundation in the basics of financial accounting, including at least one course at the intermediate level, you should consider taking this waiver exam. The exam is a set of basic questions and problems for which you will be allowed 3 hours to complete.
