Description:
The financial world has been rocked by a seemingly endless
sequence of corporate frauds. The purpose of this seminar is to help students understand the basic reporting framework that corporations in the United States follow to acquaint them with
some basic tools to help them analyze corporate markets and why accounting information plays such a key role in setting
market prices. We will use as case studies some of the most
recent examples of bad corporate financial reporting.
Professor Mary Nisbet, Economics, has taught Introductory Accounting, International Accounting and Environmental Accounting in the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management. Her main area of interest is the interface between financial markets and accounting, and the use of financial statement numbers in setting market prices.
