2. Pre-Requisites
Previous requirements are not explicitly established to course the subject by a student, yet it is strongly recommended to have previous knowledge on Financial or General Accounting and Management Accounting.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The Accounting Analysis subject is taught at the second four-month period within the Degree on Business Administration. The subject aims at providing the student with the basic instruments needed to properly undertake the management of the economic and financial situation of the business along with the interpretation of it. Through this subject, the student will apply the previous knowledge apprehended from other accounting subjects located in the first, second and first four-month period of the third course to analyze a business´s performance and financial and economic position.
This subject is closely related to others within the Degree, mainly Financial Mathematics, Business or Commercial Law, Public Finance (Hacienda Pública) and Taxation System. As a consequence, the Accounting Analysis subject is essential for the learning and comprehension of other multidisciplinary subjects within the Business Administration Degree and represents one of the pillars to gaining access to labor market by students.
