Course Description | Accounting is one of the key ingredients for successful startups. Many entrepreneurs, however, lack knowledge of accounting. This course teaches basic accounting knowledge needed in starting and operating startups to entrepreneurs or would-be entrepreneurs who did not major in accounting. Students of this course will learn to read and understand financial statements such as balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements. They will also practice simple financial planning of a startup. This course also covers the concept company valuation as well as how startups get funding. This is a practical course aimed at direct application of the knowledge gained into running real startups. It also aims to enable entrepreneurs and would-be-entrepreneurs to understand the "language of account" so that they can talk to professionals with confidence. | ||||
