Handbook

This course teaches fundamental concepts and skills related to how organisations account for and financially report their business activities, and how you can comprehend, interpret and analyse the financial information that they report. It also introduces contemporary extended reporting practices (such as integrated reporting) that provide further insight into an organisation’s financial, social, and environmental impact. By the end of the course, students will develop sufficient financial literacy to read financial reports, interpret and analyse a company’s financial position and performance, control cash and other business assets, identify links between financial reporting and capital markets, and recognise sustainability and ethical issues in financial reporting.

Link to other courses: COMM1140 prepares students for COMM1170 Organisational Resources and COMM1180 Value Creation and is a formal prerequisite.  Students who have not completed COMM1110 prior to studying Financial Management should ensure they have sufficient Excel skills.
