This is an integrative role, which requires the management accountant to understand the firm’s strategy, and to understand how both financial and non-financial information is developed across all the management functions – finance, marketing, operations, information technology, and human resources. The management accountant’s role is to provide timely and accurate information to assist management in achieving the firm’s goals. The Financial Analysis and Financial Risk Management course is designed to create an understanding of the application of strategic cost management principles for business organizations, and to provide an opportunity to develop skills in applying these principles through problems and cases.

We will emphasize communication skills, critical thinking, decision-making skills, and real-world issues in accounting including but not limited to financial malfeasance and ethics. The course will emphasize the interpretation, evaluation, and application of financial accounting concepts and theory. The ability to analyze, interpret and manage a firm's financial statements with an emphasis on understanding the reporting choices available to management is an invaluable skill-set. We will also study the impact of fixed and variable costs and will link this to operating and financial leverage. Throughout the course we will discuss key financial statement analysis tools including: ratio analysis, working capital, asset management, return on assets, return on equity, the impact of debt on the capital structure. We will spend discuss interpreting and understanding comparison of financial information and disclosure within and across industries. We then consider major corporate reporting mechanisms such as the Annual Report, Form 10K, Form 8K, and Form 10Q, as well as voluntary disclosures. The course begins with exploring incentives for corporations to communicate, user groups to which they communicate, and various forms and channels of communication. This course is designed to strengthen your ability to understand and interpret key corporate reports and disclosures. Rutgers Stackable Business Innovation Program.
