About the Course

This course builds upon what you learned in Financial Accounting: Foundations and Financial Accounting: Advanced Topics and introduces you to formal foundations of financial accounting. The main purpose of the course is to familiarize you with technical terms in financial accounting, such as debit, credit and T-account. While knowledge on technical aspects of financial accounting is not necessary to understand and interpret financial statements, this knowledge is critical to be able to understand advanced topics in accounting. Formal Financial Accounting is a prerequisite course for the University of Illinois' iMSA program and the terminology we will cover will be used throughout the courses in iMSA program. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, consistently ranked as one of the nation's top three accounting programs, now offers a master’s in accounting at a very affordable tuition rate and is completely online. The iMSA is a full Master of Accountancy program and students graduate with a highly recognized master degree. Try an open course or two, then apply for admission into the credit-bearing version, as you may be eligible to take credit-bearing courses during the application process. If you are missing any prerequisites for the full degree, you can complete Coursera courses to demonstrate readiness and strengthen your application for the iMSA.

I would have preferred if the final quiz was more challenging. It'd have been better if we had to actually prepare financial statements from the ledger accounts.

Nevertheless, I learnt quite a bit from this course so I'm happy :)

Very helpful and full of information. In my opinion it would be even better if it was a bit slower and a bit more analytical. My 4 stars is more like 4 stars and a half.

Great teaching technique. Build from a simple example and then add more complicated situations. No nonsense straight forward course. Highly recommended.
