BBA Accounting at University of Oklahoma

Programme overview

Accounting is often described as the language of business. The function of accounting is to measure a company’s economic activities and communicate the results of those activities to decision makers. Sometimes, a decision maker is inside the company (for example, a manager at a coffee shop deciding how many pounds of coffee beans to buy or a restaurant manager considering where to open a new location), but some decision makers are external to the company (like an investor deciding whether or not to buy a particular stock or a bank deciding whether or not to give a company a loan).
