Adjusting Entries

Adjusting entries are crucial in order to have accurate financial statements under the accrual method of accounting. Mastery of adjusting entries increases your value in any organization. Attention bookkeepers: Pass this exam to show you are ready for more responsibility.

Financial Statements

Balance Sheet

Preparing for this certificate exam will deepen your understanding of what the balance sheet is reporting and what it is not reporting. Decide that you are going to take your financial sophistication to a higher level and then demonstrate it by earning this certificate.

Income statement

Use this certificate exam as your motivation to understand more about the results of a business’s operations. Demonstrate that your understanding goes way beyond merely reading the “bottom line” of the income statement. By reviewing our clearly written materials, you will improve your recall, fill in some gaps in your knowledge, and gain insights.

Cash Flow Statement

Preparing for this certificate exam will give you new insights about this important, required financial statement which details a company’s major cash inflows and outflows. (Recall that “cash is king”.) Often this financial statement contains signals that some operational problems exist. Demonstrate that you have taken your financial literacy to a higher level.

Working Capital and Liquidity

Pass this certificate exam to show your awareness of how working capital can change, and how the speed in which current assets are converted to cash are critical for a company's ability to pay its obligations when they are due. While accrual accounting is required for the income statement, managing cash is needed to meet the payroll, make a loan payment, pay a supplier, etc.

Bank Reconciliation

By studying for this certificate exam, you will be improving your proficiency in preparing a company’s bank reconciliation. You will also understand why a bank’s debit to a company’s checking account means the company will need to credit its general ledger Cash account. Finally, you will appreciate the need for preparing the “bank rec” often and on a timely basis.

Payroll Accounting

Show that you have a deeper understanding of the rules behind the payroll accounting entries by passing this certificate exam. As you prepare you will better understand the difference between the amounts in the reports to the Internal Revenue Service and the amounts reported in the company's financial statements.
