Topic: Accounting: The fundamentals.

I just came across a free eLearning course at SmallBizU eLearning University.
The course is called Accounting 101: The fundamentals.
It can be accessed through:

http://smallhomebusiness.suite101.com/a … ion_online.

Press the link: SBA
Press the link: Introduction to Accounting.

You will have to enter some personal information, but enter what you like and continue.

Now you can start the eLearning.
I found it very good for a novice to get a habit of the accounting.

If you have other free or cheap sources to learn accounting, please let us know.

Re: Accounting: The fundamentals.

Banking and General Ledger should never be a module. The two do not mix together, rather go for something like:

1. Banking and Credit Cards Module (should include reconciliation of every account)

2. Accounting GL Journal, and all kinds of GL reports to help identifying garbage in the system.

Here is another subject coming around from above mentioned: Modules are assigned users – every module should not work if users are not assigned to it – unless the admin is working on a setup.

Final accounts and the balance sheet are conclusion products of book-keeping. As significance of these statements it became essential for the accountants to expand some principles ideas and convention which may be regard as fundamentals of accounting. Such fundamentals having broad approval give dependability and creditability to the financial statements prepared by the accountants.

Re: Accounting: The fundamentals.

I am finding this quite good. It goes into some depth though.
