This is an introductory course on financial and management accounting. The first part of this course will introduce the basic accounting principles and accounting terminology to understand how a company keeps control of financial events and provides information on how it is performing. These basic concepts will support the analysis of financial reports companies prepare. We will go through balance sheet, income statement, financial statement, learning how to read and analyze them. The course will also provide the basis of management accounting introducing some techniques (e.g. break- even analysis or NPV) to support managers in making short-term and long-term decisions, such as "Is it convenient to dispose a production machine and buy a new one?" or "How many products should the company sell in order to break-even?" The course will bring examples and case studies that will help students better understand the practical applications of the basic accounting principles and techniques. At the end of the course, students will be able to read, understand and analyze financial documents and to apply simple techniques to analyse costs and evaluate capital investment decisions.

It's easy to understand the topic financial and Management Accounting it was medium level difficulty course but I am manage to overcome it thank you for giving this opportunity.
Can't follow speaker. First Quiz was asking to solve a problem for a formula never listed in the lectures unless it was in relation to something else and also quiz statements I could not find in lectures.
What kind of introduction course starts with a discussion of NPV? How is this fundamental to understanding accounting?
Tried to un enroll but only option was feed back. Was a free course so gave it a couple stars.
not very beginner-friendly!
The whole course goes straight to the point of understanding how a company works and the lessons can be related to your context if you want to run your own business.
This course was a nice refresher. I had studied this way back in 2003-2005. The instructor puts the best efforts to make sure the classes are lively and the quizzes very tricky. Thanks Deborah Agostino!
This is a wonderful course to clear the basics on financial statements that touches upon the basics of cost accounting and finance accounting, It was great doing this on Cousera.
This course was very much useful for my career and I came to know much about cost and financial accounting.
The videos and the explanation were clearly explained .
Thankyou mam.
Although I have zero backround in accounting I found this course quite in-depth and enjoyable. Deborah does a great job explaining everything both verbally and visually.
This course has really helped to to better my understanding of basic accounting principles. Thanks to Politecnico and my instructor, Deborah Agostino.
Going to be honest this was a mixed learning experience. The quizzes and exam were different from what I was trying to learn. I couldn't go back into my notes to help me at all. But I might be the problem because I couldn't understand the teaching method at all.
Watched the videos for the first week and tried to take the quiz. Two of the four questions in the quiz weren't covered in the material. I don't want to risk more of my time taking a course that seems like it wasn't designed properly. This was mentioned in the messages for the course, but nothing done to address the issue over several years.
this want what i expected. too many calculations, no explanation
Concise contents but covering important practical issues. Good examples derived from everyday job experience and useful references to what is expected to comprise the work of a financial professional in a commercial company. An innovative approach in teaching the course demonstrated by Deborah that helps understand and apply the financial principles with understanding and easily.
Overall - good practical course taught with devotion and stressing on main practical financial approaches,
I am very happy with the quality of this course. I am learning a lot from this course. Thank you for providing such high quality courses. I am really enjoying this course. The instructor has done a great job at explaining concepts clearly and concisely. He also provides lots of examples and exercises to practice the concepts. This course is definitely worth taking! This course is excellent. I learned a lot from this course and I highly recommend it.
Thank you for the Coursera program after completed the course I able to read, understand and analyze financial documents and to apply simple techniques to analyse costs and evaluate capital investment decisions. I gained skill on Financial Accounting, Decision-Making, Management Accounting, and Financial Statement. I like the instructors teaching styles and easy to understand and followed great experiences.
As I am a BA holder in Audit and I' continuing My MBA degree, I found this course very stisfied as he resume such detail and useful information that I learned during my 4 years of accounting studies.
Big thanks for the instructor, she explain very well. and it was very helpful with all the examples and the exercises
The videos tutorials are in high quality, which aids in comprehending and seeing words, numbers clearly. The topics covered on this subject are 100% explained and summaries to main facts' and points that will enable one to have skills that are in line with financial and management accounting.
Amazing! This course helped me understand the basics of accounting. It is very well structured and explained. What I like the most was the fact that no matter whether you got the answer right or wrong, by the end of the quiz, there was an explanation of how to correctly solve the problem.
A very good teacher, conveying knowledge very clearly and precisely. Very well-constructed tests that help consolidate knowledge (lots of practical examples, detailed explanations). An ideal course to quickly learn or refresh your knowledge on how to read company financial statements.
This course is well structured from very bsic to advanced, so anyone can go through it and level up your knowledge. And the lecturer follows a ver inteeracting method ,so it gives kind of live class experience rather than online class which makes you more sticky to this course. :)
