Additional information
The teaching methodology is based on simulating the “real life” of a company, from launching its operations. It uses the “typical transaction” approach to simplify the learning, on a transaction-by-transaction path. All transactions carried out by the firm are entered in the Accounting System, in a user-friendly spreadsheet format, from the start of operations (the initial capital provision by the Owners) then each accounting period until the end of the fourth fiscal year. We will use such knowledge and skills in preparing financial statements for seven accounting periods. The main accounting periods are (note that the first Year includes four shorter accounting periods): • Month 1 • End of Quarter 1 • End of Quarter 2 • End of Year 1 • End of Year 2 • End of Year 3 • End of Year 4 Benefit of the online AccountingLab serves as an interactive accounting system to enter typical transactions.
