"However, I am gaining useful knowledge to apply in the area of business for my future business ventures  believe that it can be used greatly for God’s purpose," continued Pereire.

Students seek to apply skills learned in proper bookkeeping and analyzing financial statements towards identifying company financial health.  In today's highly competitive and evolving business environment, decisions of great significance are expected to be made quicker then ever.  Immersing students within this environment at an earlier stage can familiarize them with reliable analysis of data and information, which are delivered at a rapid pace.

The objective of this course is to enable the participants not only to better understand, acquire, and utilize the rich information produced by these accounting systems, but also to be able to identify the information required and how to request such information.
