College of Business “The Place to Prepare” Dr. James R. Davis — Professor
of Accounting While
teaching the basic tools of accounting can be useful, it is also
limiting. My teaching style includes a great deal of attention to the
applications of accounting for both accountants and non accountants,
notwithstanding the need to include the basic technical and mathematical
aspects of how it works. For graduate courses, accounting is the
basic information system of every organization, students are engaged in
how related areas of an organization are both informed and influenced by
accounting in their decision making roles of managing the organization. In our
Christian based environment at AU, accounting is an ideal area to include
discussions of professional ethics and their importance to
accountants. Students need to understand how many different
people in the organization depend upon the outputs of accounting in
leading the organization in an often madding and uncertain world. |

Course Information For
information about courses taught, class syllabi, office hours, and
electronic lecture slides go to the university Stushare file (T: Drive)
and look under the appropriate course name or topic under the folder
Accounting Courses Davis. Accounting
is the basic information system of every organization. It provides
economic and financial information for owners and managers in their
decision making roles of managing the organization and determining
whether or not its goals and objectives are being met. My goals
for my classes are to: · Instill in students a
commitment to understand and meet customer needs. · Enable students to effectively
market: products, services, ideas, themselves, etc. In such a that they
can accomplish their goals and be effective in the business world. · Provide real-life marketing
experiences to prepare students to be immediately effective in a business
following graduation. · Aid students to be able to
integrate their Christian faith into their business thinking processes I
also want students to think critically about how accounting can assist
them in the decision making aspects of the organization with a Christian
perspective. Hopefully this will help students gain the
necessary understanding and skills for their more encompassing
professional careers. Lastly, the teaching relationship should
involve the development of critical skills, not just to solve particular
problems related to accounting, but to think about the larger environment
in an informed and active manner. |
