Course Description

The operations of a vineyard or winery present unique issues for the accountant that require alterations to its chart of accounts, costing system, and many of its procedures. Accounting for Vineyards and Wineries pays particular attention to the unique aspects of the industry that are not encountered elsewhere, such as the capitalization of vineyard costs, depletion allowances, and the allocation of costs to cased goods. In short, this course is an essential desk reference for anyone engaged in the accounting for a vineyard or winery.
