Inhalte (short description):

In this course we view accounting as an information system that provides information for a variety of economic decisions by different stakeholders within and outside an organization. The course builds on theoretical literature from accounting and information economics in order to give participants a thorough understanding of the economic mechanisms that make accounting information useful as well as a solid grasp on decision models based on accounting.

As the course is provided on a irregular basis by different lectureres, different subsets of the literature may be in focus.
