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.

                                                                            

                               

Dr. James R. Davis — Professor— Accounting

Business, and specifically accounting education at the undergraduate level, has placed at times unfortunate emphasis on methods or techniques of practice. While teaching the basic tools 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, mathematical aspects of how it works. 

Accounting is an ideal area to include discussions of professional ethics and their importance to accountants.   Students need to understand how many people in the organization depend upon the outputs of accounting in leading the organization in an often madding and uncertain world.
