Description


In this subject, the knowledge acquired in the previous subject of Introduction to Accounting is deepened, with the application of the General Accounting Plan (PGC) and Resolutions of the ICAC (RICAC) in force.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer the prejudices of others.
