Syllabus

WEEK 1
Introducción y Hoja de Balance
Para aprender una lengua extranjera como la Contaduría, se necesita un poco de práctica de las bases fundamentales (gramática, sintaxis, expresiones idiomáticas, etc.). Este material es absolutamente esencial para poder leer y entender los libros escritos en el idioma (en nuestro caso, estados financieros). Esta semana, iniciaremos construyendo estas bases. Comenzaremos con una vista general de los reportes financieros. ¿Qué tipos de reportes se necesitan? ¿Quién hace las reglas? ¿Quién las hace valer? Después cubriremos la ecuación de las hojas de balance y definiremos/discutiremos activos, pasivos y capital de los accionistas. Introduciremos la contabilidad de débito-crédito y practicaremos mucho en traducir transacciones a débitos y créditos. Finalmente, introduciremos el caso de una compañía naciente para que ofrezcan su entendimiento de todos los pasos necesarios para registrar desde la primera transacción de un nuevo negocio hasta el primer juego de estados financieros.

WEEK 2
Contabilidad Devengada y Estado de Resultados
Comenzaremos con una discusión acerca de la contaduría de acumulación y como afecta el reconocimiento de las cuentas de estados de ingreso: Ganancias y Gastos. Luego, cubriremos las entradas de ajuste, las cuales se necesitan para preparar los libros internos de los estados financieros futuros. Finalmente, discutiremos las entradas de cierre y la preparación de la hoja de balance y del estado de ingreso. En cada etapa, continuaremos trabajando en el caso de la nueva compañía. Y si no están cansados hasta el hastío de las entradas en su diario, entonces ¡no he hecho bien mi trabajo!

WEEK 3
Flujos de Efectivo
¡El efectivo es el Rey! Comenzaremos con la clasificación de los flujos de efectivo divididos en operaciones, inversión y actividades financieras. Luego, trabajaremos en preparar y analizar los Estados de flujo de efectivo. Abarcaremos el caso de la nueva compañía preparando y analizando sus estados de flujo de efectivo. Finalmente, discutiremos las diferencias entre Ganancias, Efectivo de Operaciones, EBITDA y Flujo de efectivo libre.

WEEK 4
Análisis de índices
Tendremos nuestro examen final este semana. Debido a ello, cubriré análisis de (), que no involucra ningún “nuevo” material. Mientras definimos y discutimos un número de índices, básicamente todos involucrarán dividir un número de contaduría entre otro. Sin embargo, el análisis de dichos índices significará que involucraremos un entendimiento más profundo de las cuentas de hojas de balance y estados de ingreso. De tal modo que, los videos de Análisis de índices ayudarán a que tengan una buena revisión del material, que al mismo tiempo les ayudará a prepararse para su examen. Sin embargo, no habrá preguntas acerca del análisis de rango en su examen. La única cosa pendiente después del examen es impresionar a su familia, amigos y compañeros de trabajo con su basto conocimiento de Contaduría financiera.

At the end of this course learners will be able to: complete a business model summarizing assumptions about what value they will offer to whom, and how they will make money; systematically test and validate these assumptions within the constraints of their available resources, and; use these validated assumptions to generate financial projections that are based on actual resources and efforts expended.

Beyond Silicon Valley: Growing Entrepreneurship in Transitioning Economies (Coursera)

The path for entrepreneurs to grow their companies outside of well-developed entrepreneurial ecosystems like Silicon Valley is challenging. Most markets around the world do not look like Silicon Valley, and they never will. But there are other models to support new businesses. In transitioning markets (where entrepreneurs do not have much access to private sector financing), government officials, donors, and business leaders are experimenting with creative approaches to support the growth of entrepreneurs. Northeast Ohio, whose largest city is Cleveland, is one such community. During our time together in this course, we will be exploring some of these innovative approaches.
