BGCSE Bookkeeping & Accounts case studies

The BGCSE Bookkeeping and Accounts examination is a Bahamas General Certificate of Secondary Education subject award that recognises a candidate's command of the accounting cycle as it is taught in Bahamian secondary schools. It suits students completing senior secondary schooling, candidates preparing for further study in business or accounting, and school-leavers who want a formal record of practical bookkeeping skill for entry-level office, retail or clerical work. The syllabus moves from the accounting equation and core concepts, through double entry and the books of original entry, into ledger work, the trial balance and error correction. Candidates then meet bank reconciliation and control accounts, depreciation and period-end adjustments, and the preparation of financial statements for sole traders. The BGCSE Bookkeeping & Accounts case studies are 5 cases and about 3,053 words.
