Section 4: The general ledger accounts. Shows you what a ledger account looks like on a computer v. on paper. Explains how journal entries you learned go into the accounts. Now learn how to quickly find and retrieve financial information from the accounts—such as:
- your company’s cash balance
- your company’s sales for any month
- which bills your company has paid or not paid
And other financial information. Double-quiz lets you practice finding and retrieving financial information fast!

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.
