  • Journalise 30 mixed transactions using double-entry rules, writing a narration for each and showing the accounting-equation effect for five of them.

  • Post every journal entry to the relevant ledger accounts, balance off 10 accounts and carry forward opening balances without a break in the double entry.

  • Extract a trial balance from a 25-transaction practice set and label each balance as asset, liability, capital, income or expense.

  • List five errors that a trial balance cannot reveal (complete omission, compensating error, and similar) and give a one-line numerical example of each.

Your checkpoint

A handwritten 12-15 page journal-ledger-trial balance set for one practice firm, self-marked against a checklist, with at least 27 of 30 entries correct.

Week 2

Accounting Process: Journal, Ledger, Subsidiary Books and Trial Balance & Fundamentals and Theoretical Framework of Accounting

  • Record 25 transactions through the subsidiary books - purchases, sales, returns and a three-column cash book - reserving the journal for opening and adjustment entries only.

  • Operate a petty cash book on the imprest system for one month of vouchers and record the entry that restores the imprest.

  • Explain going concern, accrual, consistency, prudence and materiality, each with one practical example drawn from a trading firm.

  • Classify 20 items as capital or revenue expenditure and state the effect of three misclassifications on reported profit and on the balance sheet.

Your checkpoint

A complete one-month subsidiary-book set with a balanced three-column cash book and imprest petty cash book, plus a 20-item capital-versus-revenue classification table scored against an answer key.

Week 3

Financial Statements of Sole Proprietors and Partnership Firms

  • Prepare a trading account and profit and loss account from a 30-item trial balance carrying six adjustments, showing each adjustment as a working note.

  • Prepare the balance sheet after adjustment, placing closing stock, outstanding expenses, prepaid expenses, accrued income and drawings in their correct positions.

  • Compute cost of goods sold and gross profit from opening stock, purchases, direct expenses and closing stock, and reconcile the figure to the trading account.

  • Apply depreciation, bad debts and a provision for doubtful debts in the final accounts and show how each changes net profit.

Your checkpoint

Complete final accounts of a sole trader (trading, profit and loss, balance sheet) written in 90 minutes under exam conditions, with all seven adjustment workings shown and at least 80% of figures correct.

Week 4

Financial Statements of Sole Proprietors and Partnership Firms

  • Prepare a profit and loss appropriation account allowing interest on capital, interest on drawings, partners' salary and commission before dividing the residual profit.

  • Maintain partners' capital accounts under both the fixed capital method and the fluctuating capital method, and state when each is preferred.

  • Divide profit between partners in a stated ratio after appropriations and prove that the total appropriated equals the profit available.

  • Explain in five lines why interest on drawings is charged and how it affects the distributable profit of the firm.

Your checkpoint

Partnership final accounts for a three-partner firm with interest on capital and drawings, salary and commission, presenting both capital account methods side by side and balancing to the same total.

Week 5

Nature, Objectives and Types of Auditing & Internal Control, Internal Check, Internal Audit and Audit Evidence

  • Distinguish audit from investigation, and statutory audit from internal audit, in a comparison table covering purpose, scope, independence and reporting.

  • State the primary objective of an audit and three secondary objectives, attaching one realistic fraud or error example to each secondary objective.

  • Describe six types of audit (statutory, internal, government, tax, performance, social) and name the situation in which each is used.

  • Outline the components of internal control and design a simple internal check routine for cash sales and purchases that separates recording from custody.

Your checkpoint

A two-page comparison matrix (audit versus investigation, statutory versus internal, internal check versus internal audit) plus a one-page flowchart of a cash-sales internal check, both self-checked against the textbook list.

Week 6

Introduction to Cost and Management Accounting & Internal Control, Internal Check, Internal Audit and Audit Evidence

  • Prepare a cost sheet from 20 data items, correctly labelling prime cost, works cost, cost of production and cost of sales.

  • Classify 25 costs as direct or indirect, fixed or variable, and product or period, giving the reason for each classification in three words or fewer.

  • Tabulate the differences between cost accounting, financial accounting and management accounting on purpose, audience, period and reporting basis.

  • Match 12 items of audit evidence to the assertion each supports (existence, ownership, valuation, completeness) and rank them as strong or weak evidence.

Your checkpoint

A cost sheet with all four cost tiers labelled and totalled, plus a 12-row evidence table mapping each item to its assertion and to the audit procedure that obtains it.

Week 7

Bank Reconciliation Statement and Rectification of Errors & Depreciation, Provisions and Reserves

  • Prepare a bank reconciliation statement from given cash book and passbook balances covering eight causes, including unpresented cheques, uncredited deposits, bank charges and direct debits.

  • Start one reconciliation from the cash book balance and another from the passbook balance, and show that both reach the same reconciled figure.

  • Pass rectification entries for 10 errors, identifying which are one-sided and need a suspense account, and close the suspense account.

  • Compute depreciation for three years on the same asset under the straight line and written-down value methods and show the asset account under each.

  • Distinguish provision from reserve with five examples and explain why a secret reserve is considered undesirable.

Your checkpoint

A reconciliation worksheet covering 10 items in both directions, a rectification journal with a suspense account for 10 errors, and a three-year depreciation schedule computed under both methods.

Week 8

Audit of Financial Statements, Vouching and Verification of Assets and Liabilities & Auditor's Report, Professional Ethics and Computerised Accounting Environment

  • Name five professional ethics principles and apply them to two short conflict scenarios involving fees and client pressure.

  • List three risks and three controls specific to a computerised accounting environment, including backup and audit trail.
