AAT Full Bookkeeping Qualification

Bookkeeping is the recording, on a day-to-day basis, of the financial transactions and information pertaining to a business. It ensures that records of the individual financial transactions are correct, up-to-date and comprehensive. Accuracy is therefore vital to the process. While it may seem obvious, detailed, thorough bookkeeping is crucial for businesses of all sizes. Seemingly straightforward, bookkeeping quickly becomes more complex with the introduction of tax, assets, loans, and investments.

All of the above denote the obvious. Bookkeepers need a thorough and comprehensive training in order to carry their duties, in a timely and accurately. This AAT full bookkeeping training package’s purpose is to offer a holistic view of bookkeeping functions, covering areas such as double entry bookkeeping, financial statements, intermediate spreadsheets and software use.
