To survive today’s increasingly complex and volatile world, we each should develop financial literacy. While auditing was originally the sub-discipline of accounting dedicated to expressing an opinion as to the fairness of corporate financial statements, it has now become the art and science of gathering evidence for a host of different disciplinary objectives. This course is designed to combine these two disciplines and lead students to develop a critical understanding of the various problems requiring resilient and responsible financial decision-making. From George Clason’s classic 1926 novel The Richest Man in Babylon to Thomas Stanley’s arresting The Millionaire Mind, we will read, discuss, and debate a variety of primary sources to develop critical personal skills needed for personal financial planning. We will also explore financial markets, investment strategies, and financial planning. By the end of the semester, students will have developed their own “Life Auditing Program” and “Personal Financial Plan,” as well as a personally designed “toolkit” of websites for further developing their educations in financial literacy.
