Double- quiz lets you practice as if you were on the job.
Section 3: Recording journal entries. Pick up the simple rules of double-entry bookkeeping. Which amounts go in which accounts and how to show this. Filled with examples. Double-quiz lets you practice until you know it cold.
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!
Section 5: The income statement and balance sheet. Snapshot of the financial statements and how they are compiled from the general ledger accounts.

The book was awesome. Easy to read and understand. Plenty of examples and quizzes to help you learn the material. The test was not as good. I found some of the questions confusing and that tended to make me nervous. I know I should have ignored them but wanting to pass the test just unsettled me. I hope not all the tests are that way but really the books are great! Denise

This was actually purchased for someone else in our accounting department for a better understanding of debits and credits. She understood much more after going through this.
