Course Outline

Morning Session

  • Petty Cash - this covers how petty cash works, what security measures are needed to implement petty cash and a full exercise on how to write up petty cash using a business scenario.
  • Cash Book - this deals with why keep a cash book, how to write the cash book up, building on what we have learned previously in the petty cash scenario.
  • Bank Reconciliation - this compares the written up cash book with the bank statement received, noting the differences betweent the two and reconciling both sets of information. The student learns why this is important to do on a monthly basis and why they should expect to see differences between the two sets of information.
  • Introduction to a trial balance - a brief understanding of what a trial balance is and why it is needed in bookkeeping. Using the information and exercises from petty cash and the cash book, we now transfer the information to a trial balance.

  • The Accounting Equation - the student learns this equation and how it applies to bookkeeping.

  • Sales and Purchase Day Books - what they are and how to write them up.
  • Debtors and Creditors and their control accounts - understanding how these link up.
  • Understanding the basics of VAT - this covers different VAT schemes, VAT rates, VAT stagger groups and most importantly, what VAT is and how it affects businesses and individuals.
  • VAT and double entry bookkeeping - how to enter VAT into double entry and T accounts and use the information to process a VAT return.
  • 'Carried down' and 'brought down' - what do they means and what's the difference?
