This basic accounting principles course is the heart of all business organizations. Through accounting, a business keeps track of all the financial activities relating to the business.
Accounting is a core course for any field of business study.
Accounting principles include the theory of debits and credits, accounting cycles, recording business transactions, payroll preparation, accounts receivable, accounts payable, financial statements, and income tax preparation. Accounting is highly recommended for college-bound students planning to major in business. A basic introduction to automated accounting using computer and accounting software is also incorporated in this course. This is a continuing study of accounting principles, depreciation, partnership and corporation accounting, managerial accounting, practice simulations, business income taxes, and use of computer spreadsheets for accounting reports. Through Project Excel and Vincennes University, a student can earn three college credit hours at the same time as completing this course.
