Program Overview

Program Overview

The provided context includes information about various programs and courses offered by Aarhus University. The main focus is on the "Beyond Financial Statements: Narrative Reporting on Value Creation" course, which is part of the AU Summer University.

Course Description

Narrative reporting is receiving great attention due to its ability to provide information about a firm’s sustainability and value creation and to the enforcement of recent regulatory frameworks. The course integrates traditional financial accounting courses, which focus on financial accounting standards and financial statement analysis, and courses about corporate communications, strategy, and sustainable development by illustrating how those issues can be represented in companies’ reports.
