Complete International Accounting Information Analyst Certificate:

A four course program with a short description of each of the courses given below.

  • Foundations of International Accounting - This course will cover the following major topic areas: the role of culture in accounting; comparative international financial and managerial accounting, international financial statement analysis, international accounting standards and convergence, international business combinations, foreign exchange issues, international auditing issues, international taxation. Class lectures will be augmented by additional readings, case studies, and group problem solving

  • Comparative International Tax Systems - While this course emphasizes U.S. Tax Law, it has a strong international comparative tax element. In this regard the course will cover in detail international income tax, estate tax, and information exchange treaties. The course also has an international asset and wealth protection element.

  • International Wealth and Asset Management - As the global financial and economic involvements of individuals and entities continue to increase at all levels of society, the need for trained executives and professionals in the areas of wealth management and asset protection becomes increasingly critical. Currently there are very few executives and professionals who have an international perspective in these essential areas. This course would help meet this need by emphasizing international rather than local solutions to asset management and wealth protection problems. A potential text: “Asset Protection-Domestic and International Law and Tactics, West, Duncan Osborne, 1997” with updates. The effective management and protection of international assets requires an extensive knowledge of international accounting principles and tax laws. Accountants and attorneys as well as corporate executives are often required to advise and assist their clients and companies in these areas.

  • Issues in International Accounting Strategy - This course would cover topics of current interest in the international accounting area. Such a course would allow the program to maintain maximum relevance. This course would cover the most current and important issues in international accounting and tax. It would emphasize the application of fundamental international accounting and tax principles in a problem solving case environment.
