After covering these fundamental concepts, the course will move to more advanced topics. These include components of balance sheets, cash flow statements, advanced details of income statements, how to handle unusual items, and more. By the time you finish the course, you'll have a solid grounding in the important financial accounting information you'll need to know for professional use.
