Practical Bookkeeping and Basic Accounting for Non-Accountants
Five-Day Practical Training Programme
About this programme
This five-day practical programme provides participants with a comprehensive introduction to bookkeeping and basic accounting. Participants will learn how to organise financial documents, analyse business transactions, apply double-entry bookkeeping, maintain journals and ledger accounts, manage receivables and payables, prepare bank reconciliations, record basic accounting adjustments and produce financial statements.
The programme uses workplace-based examples, guided exercises, spreadsheet templates and a complete business simulation. By the end of the course, participants will be able to maintain a simple set of accounting records and prepare basic financial information for management use.
The five-day duration allows participants to practise the complete bookkeeping cycle instead of receiving only a brief introduction.
