K.
 
 
  Rationale
  for
 the
 Course:
 

 

The
 role
 of
  accounting
  in
 business
  is
  to
 help
 interested
  parties
 (internal
 and
 external)
  to
 make
 business
 
decisions.
 
Financial
  accounting
  generates
  some
 of
  the
 key
 documents,
  including
  profit
 and
 loss
 account
 showing
 the
 
method
 of
  business
  traded
 for
 a
  specific
 period
 and
 the
 balance
 sheet
 which
 provides
  a
  statement
 
showing
  mode
 of
  trade
 in
 business
  for
 a
  specific
 period.
 
  Without
  these
 financial
 documents
  it
  would
 be
 
impossible
  to
 run
 the
 business
  or
 to
 make
 decisions
  regarding
  the
 business.
