ACC-318 mirrors ACC-308's content: applying accounting rules to increasingly complex transactions, building more extensive financial statements, and using ratio analysis to assess financial performance — the second stage of SNHU's intermediate accounting sequence, listed under a parallel course number.
Building on ACC-317 (or ACC-307)
Just as ACC-308 follows ACC-307, ACC-318 follows ACC-317 in sequence, extending the intermediate foundation into complex transactions like depreciation methods, long-term liabilities, and equity accounting.
Ratio analysis and financial performance
The course carries the same emphasis found in ACC-308: preparing more extensive statements is only half the work, and the course requires connecting those statements to an actual judgment about performance through ratio analysis.
Key topics in ACC318
- Applying accounting rules to complex transactions
- Depreciation methods and long-term liabilities
- Equity accounting
- Building more extensive financial statements
- Ratio analysis for assessing performance
- Analysis of cash flows

Frequently asked questions
ACC-308 and ACC-318 share the identical title and content — applying accounting rules to increasingly complex transactions and building more extensive financial statements — reflecting parallel numbering in SNHU's catalog rather than two distinct courses to complete separately. As with any parallel-numbered pair, a student should confirm with an advisor which specific code their program requirement lists, since the expectation is one course satisfies the requirement, not both.
Just as ACC-308 is followed by ACC-309 (Intermediate Accounting III) to complete the three-course intermediate sequence, ACC-318 leads into the same subsequent coursework, since it covers identical intermediate content under its parallel number. Students should verify with their advisor exactly how their specific course numbering maps onto the full intermediate accounting sequence before planning subsequent semesters.
