This course is primarily for learners previously having attended Bookkeeping for Beginners 1. Anyone with relevant experience of processing financial transactions, similar to that described in Bookkeeping for Beginners 1, is welcome to join.  On this course, you will gain understanding of how to check and process documents involved in financial record keeping, develop skills to carry out routine book-keeping processes and develop underpinning knowledge of book-keeping principles.

At the end of this course you should be able to do the following:

  • Day books and ledgers: Enter invoices and credit notes into the appropriate daybook: sales day book; purchases day book; sales returns day book; purchases returns day book. Transfer the total(s) of the day book(s) to the respective ledger account(s).  Post individual transactions from the day books to personal ledger accounts. 
  • Initial trial balance: Balance ledger accounts and bring down the balances to the following accounting period. Extract the trial balance.
  • Introduction to the cash book: Record cash book transactions and credit transactions using double entry book-keeping.

Learners will need access to a basic calculator, online access, an email address.  Although handouts and financial documentation will be provided, a pen and paper to make notes will be useful.

One hour of self-study time will be beneficial to the learner in addition to weekly attendance to the course.
