Basic Bookkeeping Course

While bookkeeping differs largely from accounting, the former accounts for a large part of the accounting process. Book-keeping focuses on the process of recording daily financial transactions such as purchases, receipts, and sales commonly done using a general ledger or journal. Since this area is prone to errors, a skilled and compliant bookkeeper is needed to make sure that all records are up-to-date, accurate and true.

This course provides a good working knowledge on the different bookkeeping methodologies and practices essential to effectively record and store financial information on a daily basis.

(1) how to execute the double entry system;

(2) basic book-keeping process;

(3) discounts;

(4) procedure for errors and trial balance;

(5) control accounts;

(6) critical aspects of the book-keeper and tax system;

(7) the different forms of enterprise; and

(8) accounts and assets.

To achieve these goals, this course shall make use of interactive materials to present the concepts of the topics to be discussed. Assessments shall be done after the entire course to check for knowledge retention and understanding.
