In a Financial Accounting course, I was able to connect accounting concepts learned in the classroom to a business entity in the real world. My interest in healthcare contributed to my decision of focusing on “UnitedHealth Group’s 10K” financial reports for 2018. I specifically focused on analyzing Cash Flows (Operating Activities) component of the Financial Statements. This project allowed me to dive deeper into how these accounting principles are applied to a healthcare company’s reports and furthermore has helped me put my academic coursework into perspective.
