2020-2021 Catalog

ACCT-827 Special Topics in Accounting: Business Law & Taxation

This fast-paced intensive course will help prepare students for the REG section of the CPA exam. The course will cover topics that aren't typically covered in a personal federal taxation course, but that are covered on the REG section of the CPA exam. These include ethics, business law, government regulation of business and business structure, legal trusts and entities, taxation on property, and more. Students will be expected to sit for REG in early- to mid-January; therefore, it is required that students are eligible to sit before taking this course. Eligibility is determined by the Massachusetts Board of Public Accountancy. Class will be a mix of on campus and online sessions, with some potential flexibility in the timing of the online sessions, depending on student needs.
