Accounting has always been about analytical thinking. From the earliest days of the profession, Luca Pacioli emphasized the importance of math and order for analyzing business transactions. The skillset that accountants have needed to perform math and to keep order has evolved from pencil and paper, to typewriters and calculators, then to spreadsheets and accounting software. A new skillset that is becoming more important for nearly every aspect of business is that of big data analytics: analyzing large amounts of data to find actionable insights. This course is designed to help accounting students develop an analytical mindset and prepare them to use data analytic programming languages like Python and R.

INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE
In this module, you will become familiar with the course, your instructor and your classmates, and our learning environment. This orientation module will also help you obtain the technical skills required to navigate and be successful in this course.
MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION TO ACCOUNTANCY ANALYTICS
In this module, you will learn how the accounting profession has evolved. You will recognize how data analytics has influenced the accounting profession and how accountants have the ability to impact how data analytics is used in the profession, as well as in an organization. Finally, you will learn how data analytics is influencing the different subdomains within accounting.
MODULE 2: ACCOUNTING ANALYSIS AND AN ANALYTICS MINDSET
In this module, you will learn to recognize the importance of making room for empirical enquiry in decision making. You will explore characteristics of an analytical mindset in business and accounting contexts, and link those to your core courses. You will then evaluate a framework for making data-driven decisions using big data.
MODULE 3: DATA AND ITS PROPERTIES
This module looks at specific characteristics of data that make it useful for decision making.
MODULE 4: DATA VISUALIZATION 1
In this module, you will learn fundamental principles that underlie data visualizations. Using those principles, you will identify use cases for different charts and learn how to build those charts in Excel. You will then use your knowledge of different charts to identify alternative charts that are better suited for directing attention.

It teaches us the basics of data analytics and it is very progressive. There are assignments to help us understand and practice the methods being taught. This allows us to have first-hand experiences.
Love the enthusiasm of the professor Ronald Guymon and the module helps me with learning more about the use of Excel and its VBA functions
For a beginner at excel, this course really teaches you a lot about data visualisation and organising data in excel and other similar applications.
It provides a lot of hands on example that really help with the explanation of the concepts taught
