Synopsis:

Accounting Basics: Study Guide is the theory book and first volume in the Accounting Basics series. Although written specifically for this series, the Study Guide easily stands on its own and can be used as part of any accounting 101 curriculum or course.

The Study Guide contains 60 lessons that build one on top of the other, with simple, concise and clear explanations of accounting concepts and procedures. Additionally, it includes over 130 tables, diagrams and images to bring the subject to life.

Here’s what you can expect to get from the Study Guide:

• Learn the connection between the basic accounting equation and every accounting entry you will ever make,
• Fully understand the double-entry system of accounting and journal entries,
• Learn the format for T-accounts, the trial balance and the financial statements,
• Fully grasp inventory, the cost of goods sold formula and manufacturing businesses,
• Master provisions, depreciation, doubtful debts, bank reconciliations and closing (year-end) entries,
• And more…

• Accounting Basics: Workbook (Volume 2 in the series) —The companion workbook, containing over 88 questions and exercises, which correspond to all of the lessons and chapters in the Study Guide.
• Accounting Basics: Dictionary (Volume 3 in the series) — The companion dictionary in the Accounting Basics series, with over 300 accounting and business terms defined.
• Accounting Basics: Complete Guide — A compilation of the Study Guide, Workbook and Dictionary in one comprehensive publication.
