Overview of the Introductory

Accounting Unit

These introductory accounting lessons will provide students with a solid foundation in accounting skills and concepts.  Students will learn all aspects of the accounting cycle, from entering transactions to generating all basic accounting reports.  Students will use analytical skills and will learn the importance of being detailed and proficient when entering numerical data.  Students will build a strong foundation for understanding accounting processes and developing accounting skills that will benefit any business setting or personal endeavor.

It is advised that these lessons be completed in order, as accounting has a specific cycle.  However, they may also be completed as independent lessons to complement what is already taking place in the classroom.
