ACC 4331 Data Analytics in Accounting
Prerequisite: ACC 3305 (with grade of C or above) This course is intended to provide students with an understanding of data analytic thinking and terminology as well as hands-on experience with data analytics techniques and processes as utilized in the accounting profession.

Students should leave this course with the skills necessary to translate accounting and business problems into actionable proposals that they can competently present to managers and stakeholders. While there will be some use of tools in this course, the focus of this class is on concepts, not algorithms or statistical math.
