Foundations of Accounting
Twelve weeks from a first ledger entry to a trial balance you can defend in front of an auditor.
What you will cover
4 blocks, in this order
Each block is taught in the room, with work marked by hand and returned to you.
The ledger
Double entry by hand before any software: journals, T-accounts, and why the two sides must agree.
Adjustments
Accruals, prepayments, depreciation and the month-end work that turns raw entries into accounts.
Trial balance
Building one, finding the error when it does not balance, and explaining each figure out loud.
Statements
Profit and loss, balance sheet, and reading someone else's accounts critically.
