Week 1

Accounting Principles and Financial Accounting Fundamentals

  • Map the double-entry rules for assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expense, and write a one-page debit/credit decision table from memory

  • Journalize 20 mixed transactions (accruals, prepayments, depreciation, inventory purchases) and post them to T-accounts without looking at a solution

  • Prepare a trial balance from your posted ledger and reconcile total debits to total credits

  • Explain how the accounting equation stays balanced through each adjusting entry type in your own words

Your checkpoint

A handwritten 20-transaction journal, ledger, and balanced trial balance set, self-graded against a checklist with at least 90% accuracy

Week 2

Accounting Principles and Financial Accounting Fundamentals & Computerized Accounting System Setup and Master Data

  • Build the chart of accounts for a sample Korean manufacturing company, assigning account codes, account names, and control-account flags

  • Define master data for customers, vendors, and inventory items including tax codes and withholding categories

  • Configure fiscal-year, currency, and voucher-numbering settings in a practice accounting system and screenshot each setup screen

  • Trace one transaction from master data through journal entry to confirm the coding links correctly

Your checkpoint

A printed setup package: chart of accounts, 5 customer/vendor records, 5 item master records, and configuration screenshots

Week 3

Computerized Accounting System Setup and Master Data & Transaction Entry and Voucher Processing

  • Enter 30 transactions across sales, purchases, cash receipts, and cash disbursements using correct voucher types

  • Apply debit/credit memo and reversal procedures to correct 5 deliberately mis-keyed entries

  • Reconcile a bank statement against the cash ledger and record the adjusting entries

  • Document the voucher approval workflow from entry to posting in a one-page flowchart

Your checkpoint

A transaction log of 30 posted vouchers plus a completed bank reconciliation with zero unexplained differences

Week 4

Transaction Entry and Voucher Processing

  • Process period-end accrual, deferral, and depreciation vouchers and verify their effect on the trial balance

  • Handle a full sales cycle including VAT-inclusive invoicing, credit terms, and collection

  • Reconcile accounts receivable and accounts payable subsidiary ledgers to their control accounts

  • Identify and correct three common posting errors (duplicate entry, wrong period, wrong tax code)

Your checkpoint

A closed monthly transaction batch with AR/AP aging reports matching control-account balances exactly

Week 5

Tax Accounting and VAT Reporting

  • Classify 15 transactions as taxable, zero-rated, or exempt for VAT purposes and state the legal basis for each

  • Prepare a VAT return schedule from the posted sales and purchase ledgers, reconciling to the ledger totals

  • Calculate withholding tax on 5 vendor payments and record the withholding vouchers

  • Explain the difference between input VAT deduction timing and invoice issuance timing in a short written summary

Your checkpoint

A completed VAT return working paper with sales/purchase summaries, tax computation, and a reconciliation memo to the ledger

Week 6

Tax Accounting and VAT Reporting & Financial Statement Preparation and Closing

  • Post all adjusting entries for a period and produce an adjusted trial balance

  • Prepare an income statement, balance sheet, and statement of changes in equity from the adjusted trial balance

Your checkpoint

A complete financial statement set (income statement, balance sheet, equity statement) with a book-tax reconciliation note

Week 7

Financial Statement Preparation and Closing & Accounting Information Systems and Internal Controls

  • Design segregation-of-duties rules for voucher entry, approval, posting, and master-data maintenance

  • List five internal controls in a computerized accounting system and describe how each is tested

  • Perform an audit-trail review on your practice data, verifying that every posted voucher has an approver and timestamp

  • Draft a data-backup and access-permission policy for the accounting system

Your checkpoint

A one-page internal control matrix covering at least five controls with owner, frequency, and test procedure

Week 8

Accounting Principles and Financial Accounting Fundamentals & Computerized Accounting System Setup and Master Data & Transaction Entry and Voucher Processing & Tax Accounting and VAT Reporting & Financial Statement Preparation and Closing & Accounting Information Systems and Internal Controls

  • Complete two full timed mock exams and score each domain separately to find weak areas

  • Re-drill the two lowest-scoring domains with targeted practice until each reaches 80%

  • Review all error logs from weeks 1-7 and rewrite each missed concept as a corrected rule

  • Simulate one end-to-end cycle (setup to financial statements to VAT return) under time pressure

Your checkpoint

Two scored mock exams with a domain-by-domain score sheet and a final one-page error-review summary

Milestones
