This workshop will give participants an overview of college and university accounting concepts, and the basic format used by public and private institutions on their financial statements. Although the emphasis will be on financial accounting, the material will be presented within the broad framework of generally accepted principles and practices of accounting and reporting for colleges and universities. The additional half-day session will provide hands-on experience in financial statement analysis.
