Minor in Financial Reporting

Enhance your financial education with a more thorough understanding of financial reports. This minor is a good choice for finance majors in particular because it offers a targeted education in financial statements and the reporting rules that govern them.

• Help make decisions related to mergers and acquisitions
• Understand how financial statements are created and how they interact with other reports
• Use financial reporting data and adjust it to meet their needs
• Navigate the SEC’s (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) website and read SEC filings

The minor requires 18 credits, and is open to all students except accounting majors. Visit the program page in UD’s course catalog for course requirements and options.
