About the course
The course provides you with an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of accounting. The course covers the concepts, principles and procedures that constitute a basis for the development of accounting, which could be understood as a core of accounting theory, and considers how those can be structured into a coherent accounting system. To broaden the perspective, implications from the interaction between accounting theory and practice will also be considered.
