Fundamentals of Accounting

Fundamentals of Accounting provides students with an understanding of the basic concepts and
procedures necessary for accounting. It focuses on two accounting cycles: one for a service business
organized as a proprietorship and one for a merchandising business organized as a corporation.

Among the activities students do in completing this subject are preparing a beginning balance sheet;
recording transactions in a journal; posting from a journal to a general ledger; preparing an income
statement, an eight column work sheet and financial statements; and reconciling a bank statement.
These activities require a solid knowledge of arithmetic and the application of the basic accounting
concepts and procedures which students learn in this subject.

There are 7 exams in Fundamentals of Accounting.
