ACC480.2 : * Topics in International Accounting (Tsinghua U) *
Description:
Taught in English Many of the topics in an international accounting course have a domestic counterpart. However, new factors and complications arise in the international arena. Some of these are (1) laws, practices, customs, cultures, and diversity of competitive circumstances; (2) risks associated with fluctuating exchange rates, differential rates of inflation, and unstable property rights; and (3) variations in taxes and tax rates. International accounting discusses issues from the perspective of companies that have internationalized their finance and/or operations. It also has a comparative aspect, comparing accounting across countries. It also deals with convergence of worldwide financial reporting standards. For SU management majors, this course counts as an accounting elective.
Pre-req: Introductory accounting or financial accounting course.
