Welcome to the Accounting Department's Home Page. The purpose of this and other linked pages is to furnish information about our programs, courses, and staff. Accounting is the art of communicating financial information about a company, not-for-profit organization, or government agency. The first course, Accounting Principles-Financial, discusses how economic information about corporations is communicated to outsiders such as investors and creditors. The second course, Accounting Principles-Managerial, discusses how economic information is communicated to insiders such as supervisors and other employees. Other courses in the department focus on how accounting and tax information is prepared.
