I graduated with my bachelor's in accounting over 7 years ago and I find that this course was an extremely helpful refresher of the basics. The course give just enough detail for you to grasp the subject but not so detailed that you feel as if you're in a 3 hour lecture. Perfect course for a quick review.

Course details
Accounting uses financial information from the past to make decisions in the present to change the future. This course provides an introduction to the four basic types of accounting—bookkeeping and financial, managerial, and tax accounting—and explains the links between accounting, decision-making, business performance, and financial health. Accounting professors Jim and Kay Stice review the three primary financial statements, using actual examples from companies like Walmart. They show how businesses use managerial accounting to build budgets and determine the cost of products, and explain how income taxes, credits, and deductions are calculated in the United States. The course is self-contained; there are no prerequisites or specialized knowledge required to follow along. By the end, you should have a better understanding of accounting and how it affects your business or personal finance.
