Accounting and Financial Reporting for Healthcare (GBSH0013)

This module is designed to give you the skills needed to understand and analyse financial statements such as statement of financial position, balance sheet, profit and loss statement and annual report.  You will learn about budgeting and cashflows including costing methods and investment appraisal so that you can evaluate and question key financial structures, documents and figures.

You will also come to appreciate how different health systems organise the financing of healthcare and the impact that the way financing is undertaken shapes healthcare delivery and incentives.

In addition, to learning how to effectively use these various financial statements for decision making, you will also gain an understanding of regulatory compliance and corporate governance. You will come to appreciate the importance of ethics for financial reporting as well.  All these topics will be covered across this module in a manner that will develop your skills and knowledge of financial management as you move through the material.

Content:

Overview:

There is no set syllabus: students identify a member of the Software Systems Engineering faculty who is willing to supervise them. Together, a student and supervisor co-operate to specify and detail a project of mutual interest. The supervisor provides support and guidance. Although students are encouraged to start early and begin meeting with their supervisor as they have time during terms 2 and 3, the project becomes the students' full-time focus after the examination period (May/June) with the student responsible for organising themselves and their work, with advice from their supervisor. Students are expected to meet with their supervisor on a regular basis, as agreed with the supervisor;

Project report:

The main report documents the results of the project, and is expected to be a substantial and properly structured academic document. The project guidelines available on Moodle give detailed information about the required content. The deadline for submission is normally in early September.
