Advanced Accounting

This course is designed for students who already have a strong foundation in accounting and are ready to push their understanding further. Over the semester, students will dive deep into advanced accounting concepts, explore the full power of Excel for financial analysis, and apply their skills in a hands-on forensic fraud simulation. The first part of the class sharpens students’ grasp of complex accounting topics—consolidations, partnerships, advanced financial instruments, and international standards. Students will tackle nuanced scenarios, learning not just how to record transactions, but how to interpret, analyze, and communicate the story behind the numbers.

Alongside the theory, students will develop advanced Excel skills tailored for accountants. This means mastering pivot tables, complex formulas, financial modeling, data visualization, and automation. By the midpoint of the course, students will be expected to build robust, dynamic spreadsheets that mirror real-world financial challenges. The course culminates in a forensic accounting simulation. Students are placed in the role of fraud investigators, combing through messy books, emails, and data sets to identify red flags and piece together what happened in a simulated case of corporate fraud. This capstone experience brings together everything learned—technical accounting, analytical rigor, Excel expertise, and professional skepticism.

By the end of the course, students will not only be prepared for the highest levels of accounting practice, but will also have the investigative mindset and technical skills needed to tackle fraud, advise organizations, and drive ethical financial decision-making.
