Course details

Beginning with foundational terms and concepts and working through a step-by-step overview of each, this course will provide you with the knowledge you need to read the balance sheet, the income statement, and the statement of cash flows. 

 

You’ll learn how an account’s normal balance determines the effect of debits and credits on the account, and how financial accounts are organized in the chart of accounts.
