Bookkeeping Case Study

This course looks to consolidate the knowledge acquired from Bookkeeping: The First Principles and Bookkeeping: The Next Stage by providing practical exposure to bookkeeping and ultimately preparing financial statements for a fictional sole trader client.   

Participants will gain practical experience of manual bookkeeping through writing up Books of Prime entry using the appropriate source documentation. They will be required to record the double entry in the general ledger and extract the Trial Balance. In addition, participants will be taken through the bank reconciliation process and will also prepare receivables and payables ledger accounts.    

Further, participants will record period end adjustments and produce the extended trial balance before preparing the financial statements.   

Who should attend: 

This is part of the Early Careers Year 1 programme 

It is ideally combined with Bookkeeping: The First Principles and Bookkeeping: The Next Stage, but is also an excellent standalone course for those with an existing basic knowledge of double entry and period end adjustments.
