The study of bookkeeping helps to prepare young people for successful participation in a variety of office and business occupations. The text material proceeds from a simple treatment of a small service business in the first learning cycle to ever-expanding of larger and different kinds of businesses. Problem solving and practice sheets are required materials for the course. The objectives of the course are to teach bookkeeping and accounting principles that will enable the student to keep his own personal business statements, and to systematically record the business transactions of service and merchandising businesses.
Homework consists of reading assigned chapters and completing any unfinished class work.
The advanced course accounting instruction ranges from a review of the accounting cycle to cost accounting and management accounting. This is done through a review of basic principles, extensive use of practice tests, and problem solving.
