I have many years of accounting experience, but it has also been many years since then. I am looking to transition into accounting, so I took this as a refresher course. It's nice, the instructor gives a fresh take on accounting concepts that give clear understanding. I would add that for anyone who may have difficulties in current studies to give this a try. His explanations could work for you.

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.
