Financial Accounting
A recent survey of business managers indicated that they believe it is more important for college students to learn accounting than any other business subject. Accounting is not just mathematics! It is the information system that measures financial activities and then processes that information into reports, and communicates the results to decision makers. For that reason it is called the "Language of Business".
