ACCT-828 Special Topics in Financial Accounting
This fast-paced, intensive course will help prepare students for the FAR section of the CPA exam. The course will cover topics that aren't covered in a financial accounting series, but that are covered on the FAR section of the CPA exam. These include advanced accounting topics such as business combinations, derivatives and hedge accounting, and foreign currency transactions; state and local government concepts; not-for-profit accounting; and more. Students will be expected to sit for FAR in either late May or early July; 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.
