Workshop I: Introduction to Accounting*
Introduction to Accounting, the first workshop in the RIT Accounting Practices, Procedures & Protocol series, is designed to familiarize attendees with the overall course content. Attendees will gain knowledge of the role and structure of the RIT Controller's Office and the Office of Budget & Financial Planning Services. The main focus of the class will be an in-depth review of the RIT chart of account structure, including information about what each segment represents, how to decipher 24-digit combinations, how combinations are created, cross validation rules, and account segment descriptions.
