Manual bookkeeping covers the material equivalent to a certificate in manual bookkeeping level 2. You will need to have come across the concept of double entry bookkeeping before. On this course, we look at how to update the ledger accounts. We take these end balances on the ledgers and use them to prepare a Trial Balance. From the figures on the Trial Balance, we prepare a Balance Sheet and a Profit and Loss Account.
We also take the figures on the VAT account, make an adjustment for Bad Debts and use the figures to prepare the figures for a VAT return.
This course is useful if you want to learn more about manual bookkeeping, and also, if you want to have a better understanding of bookkeeping in general. Even if you are currently using a bookkeeping software, the knowledge gained on this course will really help you to understand what is going on ‘behind the scenes’ of the program. Software is great, because it saves us time, but if they go wrong, having a manual understanding is very helpful because then you’ll know WHY the accounts are incorrect, and how to fix it.
