Let's get right into it: this first Credit Unit is all about accounting. Sometimes looks can be deceiving, but the numbers don't lie (if they're prepared properly). No matter how successful a company appears to be doing, you can't really know until you have a look under the hood. In the business world, this means looking at the numbers. Accounting is the methodology of keeping the numbers organized and presenting them in a way that is useful and understandable. At first, sifting through financial documents may seem overwhelming and incomprehensible, but actually it's more like another language. Once you know the language it all makes sense. This one Module won't make you fluent in accounting, but it will help you get by.
Take a look at the Module introduction video for a better sense of what we'll be covering.
