Course details

For many people who aren’t involved in accounting or finance, just hearing terms like “cost-volume-profit analysis,” “derivatives,” “accrual accounting,” and “cryptocurrency,” makes them either nervous, confused, or lost. But even if you think you’re not a “numbers person,” you can understand these and other seemingly-sophisticated terms dealing with finance and accounting. In this course, accounting professors Kay and Jim Stice cover the terms and concepts common in the world of business numbers. Kay and Jim explain the meaning of many current buzzwords in business that, once you’re familiar with them, will allow you to participate in conversations involving finance and accounting matters.

If you’re not directly involved with the numbers side of your business but are looking to become familiar with terms you’ve heard but don’t totally grasp, check out this course to become more conversant in the language of business.
