Sustainability Related Courses Taught
- ACC 310 Intermediate Accounting – In this course, students complete two cases regarding sustainability. In the first, students examine a company’s sustainability report in order to understand the basics of reporting. In the second case, students determine what type of sustainability report that a firm that is presently not reporting should prepare. Both cases use real companies in order to expose students to real-life examples of sustainability reporting.
