Introduction to Financial Accounting
Foundation Management
ACC 1300 is the required introduction to financial accounting course. Financial accounting
involves the complete range of activity a company uses to prepare the financial statements it
provides to people outside of the company, including shareholders, creditors, the government,
customers, and suppliers. Students will learn how financial events (transactions) are identified,
recognized, classified, recorded, and summarized into financial reports. These financial reports
consist of the income statement, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows, and the
statement of stockholders' equity (as well as the associated explanatory statement footnotes).
Students will learn both how to prepare and how to analyze and interpret these financial reports.
Students will learn the language and terminology used in financial accounting that is prevalent in
the financial press. Finally, the role ethics plays in the reporting of financial results will often be
discussed. Many business scandals (such as Enron, WorldComm, and Tyco) result from
falsifying financial accounting reports.

LAW3525 White Collar and Corporate Crime
4 credit (general credit)
We study white collar and corporate crime, which is to say, frauds and schemes and corruption. We will study an array of specific federal crimes in order to understand exactly what actions constitute the crime.
We will learn how a crime is prosecuted, from the prosecutor’s first knowledge of the crime to the final punishment. We will learn when a corporate employee can be convicted for something he was told to do by his boss, and when the boss can be convicted for something done by an employee.
You will learn what to do if you are the target of a federal investigation or are suddenly arrested, how to disassociate yourself from a conspiracy, and how to make a good faith effort to follow the law, so that even if someday you break a rule and find yourself as the subject of a criminal investigation, you may nonetheless be able to avoid prosecution or at least minimize punishment.
You will learn the vocabulary of the federal prosecutor, so that you can be a discerning reader of the law section of the Wall Street Journal and keep current: What sort of business practices is the government now targeting? When should you tread carefully? When should you say no?
Prerequisites: LAW1300 0r LAW1301

Every business operates in a supply chain in which it buys and sells goods and services. The links to these suppliers and customers are formalized in contracts, which is why all managers should know something about how to read and write a contract. This course will teach you how to do that. We will review basic principles of contract law and apply them in a wide variety of transactions. The course will be writing intensive, and will equip you to do on the spot drafting and to understand drafts produced by your counterpart. This skill will enhance your ability to negotiate and structure deals. The foundation law course is a prerequisite, as is a solid ability to write.

LAW3675 Innovation and the Law: A Critical Examination
4 credit Advanced Liberal Arts
The legal system has long attempted to encourage business and technological innovation. This course inquires whether current intellectual property laws effectively do encourage innovation or whether their property rights approach might actually restrict innovation and the enjoyment of innovation by consumers. We also will examine laws that regulate the implementation of innovation (trademark, antitrust and safety law) to see if they might do more harm than good. This course constantly asks the question, should any of these laws be changed and if so how?
