Understanding Accounting

Anyone involved in business who would like to learn how to read, interpret and use accounting information in everyday business

The design of the workshop is based on avoiding words like debit, credit and performing accounting calculations. Rather it focuses on participants gaining an understanding of accounting and the specific statements as documents that reflect part of their business.

The workshop avoids the traditional ways of teaching accounting to avoid confusion and focuses on understanding accounting information and the bookkeeping process in simple and clear terms.

Participants should be able to look at selected accounting information and know what they could do with it – or what someone else may do with it.

The Statement of Financial Position
The Statement of Profit or Loss
The Statement of Cash Flows
