NABU 320 / NABU 340 There are similarities in several areas of these courses. Suggestions have been: 1. Revise NABU 320 to focus on accounting for non-accounting managers in North America. A suggestion is that this could potentially replace BFIN 141 in the minor. 2. Develop a new course, BFIN 340, which will focus on finance for non-finance managers (and the BFIN code will allow it to be open to other programs). 3. Discontinue NABU 340 as BFIN 340 will replace it. This course will need a fulsome review of the title, learning outcomes, resources, content, and evaluation profile to ensure there is constructive alignment. BADM 466 The last revision was in 2019.

The assessment criteria and categories for NABU 470 need to be revised. The current one is very vague. BMKT 161 This course transfers as a 200 or 300-level course in some institutions in BC.
