Please note: I will not be able to comment on accounting rules to your specific situation, as they can vary from country to country and from state to state. If you want any comments about accounting for your specific situation, please contact an accounting professional near you.
In this MO-220 exam preparation course:
We'll start by preparing accounting data for analysis. We'll import and export data, clean data, verify accounting data integrity, and transform accounting data.
We'll then Prepare a Trial Balance and Prepare and Analyze Financial Statements. These are Balance Sheets and Income Statements, also known as Profit and Loss Statements (P&L) or Statements of Earning. We'll organize accounting transactions and financial data using Excel functions, prepare and analyze financial statements, correct errors, and present information visually using PivotTables, dashboards and charts.
Finally, we'll perform accounting activities. We'll prepare amortization schedules and bank reconciliations, manage accounts receivable and payable, perform payroll activities, and create depreciation schedules.
No prior knowledge is required. This course completes with practice activities, so you can be sure that you are learning.
Once you have completed this course, you will have an expanded knowledge of Microsoft Excel. With some practice, you could even take the official Microsoft MO-220 exam, which gives you the "Microsoft Office Specialist: Excel for Accounting Associate" certificate. This would look good on your CV or resume.
