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.

I thought this book was confusing and sent it back to you for a refund. It did not do a good job of explaining debits and credits. An explanation from an entry level college accounting textbook is much more understandable.
