- Summary:
- This course provides graduate students with a truly unique learning experience. The Accounting/Taxation Study Abroad to Italy provides insights into the accounting, reporting, and financial institutions that operate in Italy by examining the history (beginning with Luca Pacioli in the 15th century) of accounting and its impact of the development of commerce both within the region, the country and the world.
- The course emphasizes the similarities and differences between the financial systems of Italy and the U.S. Students will examine the constructs of accounting and reporting as part of the pre-trip definitions of the business environment and in preparation for the business site visits as well as the travel portion of the course. As a result, students will be able to contrast the Italy of Pacioli with the Italy of today. The group will also visit additional cultural venues during the trip.
