In conducting its program, the Stan Ross Department of Accountancy provides undergraduate students with both the technical tools and the general background necessary for successful careers in accounting, as well as providing accounting knowledge to students with majors in areas other than accounting. The department’s accounting program focuses on the development, measurement, analysis, validation, and communication of financial and other information. Much of the emphasis is directed to enhancing the students’ ability to understand the environment and to alert students to the broad implications of accounting principles, procedures, and accounting decisions. Baruch’s accounting program is designed to prepare students to become leaders in business, not-for-profit organizations, and government.
