Description
Data analytic skills are core for accounting practitioners in our data-intensive business environment. In this subject we build on fundamental data and analysis concepts to develop an analytical mindset where students learn to frame managerial questions, assemble the data, compute relevant metrics and models, identify actionable insights, and design effective and efficient communication of the outcomes. Students explore and apply these skills in a variety of contexts including management accounting, tax, audit and assurance, and financial statement analytics to develop practical skills in working with multiple analytics tools. Finally, students will learn how to best interpret and communicate the results from data analytic procedures using visualisations.
