Errol Deacon, Authored Financial Accounting Get it Straight, The second Get it Straight is due out later in 2022, "Accounting Essentials Get it Straight"
Perhaps reading books have, or are going out of style. I believe learning is best in person, (seminars, groups, etc) but the second best option is interactive online seminars. The advantage, we reach out to an audience that is likely, more efficient addressing, such as we are launching, Basic Accounting from the definition, the financial statements and essentials, applying sales, purchases, payroll, depreciation, cost of goods sold, accruals, prepayments, trial balance (unadjusted and the adjusted) and some differences between U.S GAAP and IFRS At the time of writing it will be around 2 1/2 t0 3 hours. Intervals for interaction between the presenter and the other attendees to ask questions and get feedback is invaluable to insure the best quality outcome given the time allotted.
Who benefits from this seminar? Students, their first day in class. Their welcome to Accounting 101 is a 600 page text book. They don't know what's a debit and credit! Get a valuable overview first. It will be one of the best investments.
Carrying on a family tradition? Accountants in the family? The accounting profession is unrecognisable from thirty years ago. If the seminar changes their minds, or better, they research the profession further, better to find out now than later!. There's financial accounting, management accounting, auditing and tax accounting.
Many small/medium size business owners understanding is limited to how the cash in and cash out. The entity needed investors yesterday, and the owner doesn't know the difference between the cash and the accrual methods
Are you paying the accountant to repeat the same jargon month after month? Accounting is the Language of Business and one can't afford to be in a two step forward-one step back mode. The accountant is trying to get through. This seminar isn't teaching anything they don't know, but taken from a different perspective makes all the difference. The other side of the coin, need this information to communicate better, and therefore secure a better return on professional fees
