About This Course
Posting entries is only half of an accountant's job. This course covers the other half: reconciling, correcting, controlling and closing the books like the person who owns them.
You'll design a chart of accounts for the reports managers need, reconcile bank statements and payments, handle advances, credit notes and debit notes, and correct wrong postings without breaking the audit trail. You'll report profit by branch or department, set budgets, work in foreign currencies, set up withholding tax, run fixed assets from purchase to disposal and control customer credit.
You finish by reading the financial statements and closing the month and the year.
