Empirical Research in Accounting III (ACCT-540-3)
Students will be introduced to research studies that examine unstructured data (e.g., textual) and/or use non-traditional research methods (e.g., machine learning). This will include research in economics, finance, and marketing as well as accounting. We will focus primarily on popular textual measures (e.g., sentiment, readability, and similarity) and machine learning methods (e.g., Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machines). The focus will be both on learning the underlying techniques, as well as developing an understanding of the relevant economic contexts in which to apply them to accounting questions.
Special Topics in Empirical Accounting Research (ACCT-530-0)
Part I: Students will be introduced to research studies that examine unstructured data (e.g., textual) and/or use non-traditional research methods (e.g., machine learning). We will focus primarily on popular textual measures (e.g., sentiment, readability, and similarity) and machine learning methods (e.g., Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machines). The focus will be both on learning the underlying techniques, as well as developing an understanding of the relevant economic contexts in which to apply them to accounting questions. Part II: This part of the course will focus on current empirical techniques used in archival accounting research. The focus will be on research design and identification issues in the context of recent and evolving research on disclosure, information processing costs and real effects of reporting and disclosure.

Managerial Accounting (ACCT-431-0)
This course covers firms' internal accounting systems and the information used within organizations for decision-making. It is essential for those students who plan to obtain a management role, work in consulting, or start their own company. The course is organized around the extensive uses of these internal accounting data. The course first covers the fundamentals of assessing the cost of producing a product, providing a service, or servicing a customer. It then moves to addressing issues, such as overhead allocation and shared costs, that can have significant effects on the calculation of product- and divisional-level profitability and managerial decision-making. In the second half of the course, forecasting and monitoring of results are covered, including a discussion of performance evaluation and transfer pricing issues surrounding the location of people and operations. The course is a combination of lecture and case-based discussions, with group cases and an individual in-class midterm and final exam.
Financial Accounting (ACCT-430-0)
This course acquaints students with the process used to construct and understand the financial reports of organizations. The objective is to understand the decisions that must be made in the financial reporting process and to develop the ability to evaluate and use accounting data. Emphasis is placed on understanding the breadth of accounting measurement practices and on being able to make the adjustments necessary for careful analysis. The course highlights the linkages between accounting information and management planning, and decision making and control. Course sections that end in "H" will be taught in a format that combines the convenience and flexibility of online learning with the social and instructional benefits of face-to-face classroom experiences. Online sessions are conducted synchronously with classmates and faculty.
