This two day trainer-led course has been designed to introduce the theory and practice of basic accounting and bookkeeping. The course introduces participants to the various source documents and journals required to establish a computerised set of accounts for a small to medium sized business. This course is excellent for people with little or no accounting experience.

Although computer accounting packages are the standard method of accounting, without an understanding of the underlying processes, users of these systems often have difficulty verifying results or troubleshooting. We recommend this course to anyone who has little or no accounting experience and is using – or is about to use - MYOB, QuickBooks or any other computer accounting system.
