- which bills your company has paid or not paid
And other financial information. Double-quiz lets you practice finding and retrieving financial information fast!
Section 5: The income statement and balance sheet. Snapshot of the financial statements and how they are compiled from the general ledger accounts.

I did find the Double-Entry Bookkeeping class very helpful. However, when I purchased this class I was under the impression based off the website and paper that I get each month that this class would allow me to receive a certificate of completion. That is something that does not come with this book. The only reason I was taking this course was to receive the certificate because my boss wants me to further my education in Bookkeeping.

I’ve learned quite a bit. The accountant I worked for before never explained the reasoning behind this. Glad I took the time to re review the book 🙂

For those new to, or interested in, double-entry bookkeeping this course should be considered an absolute must! This course is concise, easy to understa, but most importantly lays the foundation for, and the importance of, understanding a double-entry accounting/bookkeeping system. Even for long-time bookkeepers, with only on-the job training skills, this course is a nice review and offers personal validation for skills previously (and properly or not) learned throughout the years. If you easily understand this course, pass all quizzes with ease, then you’re ready to move to the next level in confidence.
