## Course Overview of 'Mastering Practical Accounting English'

English and accounting are the 'common languages' when conducting business globally.
It goes without saying that English is the common language for global business, and general communication locally is conducted in English. On the other hand, when hearing 'accounting', many people might imagine difficult accounting rules, account titles, or bookkeeping tasks like journal entries and organizing slips.
Of course, if you are in the accounting department, that is your primary responsibility, and conducting accounting processes and creating financial statements according to the rules is paramount.

However, the accounting required for most business professionals is understanding how their own responsibilities—such as research, manufacturing, logistics, or sales—are reflected in the accounting numbers.
Furthermore, accounting knowledge is important not only for understanding the current business structure but also when considering what marketing policies or capital investments are necessary when making business plans.
A business leader who can firmly increase sales and profits, appropriately execute inventory and capital investments, and logically explain the numbers to the home country.
Such expatriates become individuals who contribute to local performance while earning trust from headquarters.

With a reverse thinking approach that 'learning them together actually makes it easier'—especially for those who feel intimidated—this course allows you to leverage the affinity between English and accounting to learn accounting English, killing two birds with one stone.

This content is highly recommended not only for those already on overseas assignments but also for those scheduled to go, or those who wish to pursue such a career path.
It is also full of insights for those who want to start their own businesses and expand their field of activity overseas.
