Accounting II~This is a skill-level course which builds upon the foundation established in Accounting I. The course is designed to help students develop a deeper knowledge of the principles of accounting with increased emphasis on financial statements and accounting records. It is a study of previously learned principles as they apply to the more complicated types of business organizations: partnerships, corporations, branches, etc. Students will become familiar with such specialized fields of accounting as cost accounting, tax accounting, payroll accounting, and others.
