This Specialization explores the legal and regulatory framework that shapes how businesses operate and how professionals evaluate legal risk. Across three courses, you will examine business structures and legal entities, contracts and commercial agreements, and liability in business decision making. By the end of the Specialization, you will be able to analyze real-world scenarios involving ownership structures, enforceable agreements, and legal responsibility—skills that are essential for CPA candidates and accounting professionals.

Applied Learning Project

Throughout the Specialization, learners apply legal and regulatory concepts to realistic business scenarios involving organizational structure, contractual relationships, and liability risks. In role-play simulations and capstone activities, learners evaluate business decisions, identify potential legal exposure, and justify recommendations using professional judgment grounded in accounting and business law principles.
