Bookkeeping And Accounting

Bookkeeping is the recording of financial transactions, which include sales, purchases, income and payments by and to individuals and businesses.

The main purpose of bookkeeping is to show the surplus or deficit (profit or loss) of a business at any given period. It should also reveal the assets and liabilities of the business at the same time.

Accounting or Accountancy goes beyond bookkeeping and includes compiling financial information into financial statements for the public’s use in assessing the financial viability of a company.

Our bookkeeping courses at Level 3 (Advanced) are more in the nature of Accounting as at this level we teach you how to prepare Final Accounts for companies including sole trader, limited companies and partnerships.

Courses

I wish to complement Ideal Schools on the quality of the course materials and tutorial/administrative support. I am glad that I chose to study with Ideal Schools as it has provided me with an excellent grounding of the fundamentals of bookkeeping and payroll and has provided me with the incentive to continue my study further after university and train as an accountant.

The courses covered all aspects comprehensively and this, combined with the prompt, constructive tutorial feedback as enabled me to pass 6 ICB exams, 5 of which were distinction.

I would certainly recommend this course study to both friends and colleagues.

The course notes were excellent and the general content was perfect for a good grounding in bookkeeping and payroll skills.

Thank you for all your support to Claire in these past months and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to other accountants looking to provide adequate training form new staff. It would certainly be beneficial if all bookkeepers were encouraged to complete this type of training.
