‘User Friendly and Practical’
Another great course by Thomas Herold! Above all, it’s down-to-earth and applicable to real life business situations. The explanations are simple and clear and easy to follow along. Although I do have previous accounting experience, I learnt a lot of new things about the accounting processes, such as what steps are required to take place before a transaction can be recorded, what accompanying documents are needed and what the principles and methods of cash controls are. Additionally, Herold is very responsive and always willing to help with detailed explanations.
‘Concise and to the Point’
This book provided me with a crash course on the accounting world. It was an excellent refresher and this audiobook can easily be listen in just a few sittings.
I suppose the only think feel to make note, and the author even says this in the introduction, is that this book couldn’t possibly cover all there is to know about accounting. As the title would suggest, there is a lot more to learn, and a lot more in depth these topics can be. With that being said, I think this book does an excellent job bringing together all of the important aspects in accounting.
