This unit is designed to give you the skills and knowledge to maintain a general ledger, but is not a full software training package for all types of accounting software.
The maintaining of a general ledger is now performed using specialist accounting software, but there is still a need to teach the concepts of the transactions and there is a need to do some work on paper based exercises.
