About the Course

Accounting information is the lifeblood of the organization, as it facilitates and influences operational and strategic decisions intended to achieve organizational goals. Organizations benefit from three decision-oriented roles of accounting: measurement, control, and communication. This course provides an introduction to accounting’s role in helping managers develop and implement, and improve the organization’s strategy. In particular, you will learn how non-financial and financial information is created, organized, and communicated to help managers make strategic decisions, as well as measure strategic success. This course also provides an introduction to accounting as a control function inside the organization, which helps influence the alignment of managers’ and employees’ decisions with organizational goals. You will learn about different types of controls, including process controls, budgets, and performance measurement and evaluation tools and techniques. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to: • Create and communicate accounting information that facilitates strategic decisions. • Use accounting information to develop, implement, and improve organizational strategy. • Implement controls that align managers’ and employees’ decisions with organizational goals. • Measure and evaluate manager and employee performance to control and motivate operational and strategic decision-making.

I can't say that the course was revelational. Besides, in one place, the test is really broken

Good material, but errors in quizzes that haven't been fixed in years, and difficultly getting peers to review work make this a bit difficult.

The reason why I have given 2 stars is because the week 2 quantitative analysis of this course does not have fixed answers. Yes questions change but then sometimes even when questions are same with same numbers and same wordings, answers change.

Awful course. You get a test after each module, but there is no way to pass it because the test contains information that is not provided in the module. I tried to pass the test from module 3 around 10 times and I just gave up.

I have dropped out of this and the following courses in this specialization because of the assessment material.

i have tried week 1 assessment it 10 time at least, my answers were accurate, i went to the discussion forum and people were discussing the same thing that there is something wrong with the assessment answer.

no matter what option you choose it is the wrong one.
