This is a similar approach I use with my Accounting Flashcards for iOS and Droid. Using this, you can approach your learning on an as needed basis. Understanding 7 pages of information is just so much less overwhelming than 700 pages of textbook. Technical bond and depreciation info is also there. The cheat sheet provides financial statement and journal entry examples that once understood, will help pave the way to accounting fundamentals greatness. If you need a standard way to learn this check out the Kindle book, Learn Debits and Credits along with printable resources and video course. Sadly many students drop accounting due to the confusion surrounding this concept so I gave extensive real estate to it on the cheat sheet and created the iOS game – Accounting Play – Debits & Credits to teach it in a fun way. Debit and credit concepts form the fundamentals of the accounting system and are covered for those ready to take the plunge. How do I book an asset sale? How do I answer this open book journal entry question? The answers are found on the sheet. This is extraordinarily helpful to those needing to apply the nitty-gritty concepts. Lack of understanding on certain terms can inspire self-learning.ĭebits and credits are covered extensively alongside example journal entries. ![]() Familiarity with all the vocabulary is a starting place for the otherwise lost student. Professionals should understand terms such as net, gross, cost basis, and the like in order to communicate with accountants and other business people. Next I would take a look at terminology and business types. Further academic breakdown of cost of goods and – gulp – inventory costing methodologies are covered later, but not something I put on my priority list. The income statement basis of revenue minus expenses is also detailed. The accounting equation is broken down along with debit and credit T-accounts. Since many successful business people never understand what Assets = Liabilities + Equity is or the cost of goods formula, I think this is an area best learned after the basic financial statement examples. The accounting equation and cost of goods sold is my next favorite part of the sheet. The presentation on the Sheet shows an excellent teaching example, as well as the purposes of the statements, alongside individual account explanations. Generally I think the purpose of accounting classes should be first understanding basic statements and later preparing them. This allows the students to memorize and apply one core example before going on to dauntingly complex public company statements. The example statements are related and basic. The Accounting Cheat Sheet contains a basic example of the four core financial statements: The balance sheet, income statement, statement of owners’ equity, and the statement of cash flows. I would rather someone commit to long term memory and application of basic concepts, rather than spend time on the technical and forgettable. These concepts should be committed to memory and tested without the use of open notes and cheats (ironic I know). I believe beginning students should learn accounting that focuses on practical knowledge of small business concepts and master financial statement basics. I will cover my teaching philosophy as well as the main components of the sheet. Here I will outline some of the most important features of the sheet and how to make use out of them. ![]() If you can learn and apply the concepts on the Cheat Sheet, you will have gained a level of financial understanding greater than most. I will be introducing my teaching philosophy and how to utilize the key features of the Cheat Sheet. The sheet is closely aligned with my accounting teaching philosophy which focusses on useful fundamentals, not abstractions. I created this resource to capture the most important accounting concepts in one attractive and consolidated place. The purpose of this sheet is primarily for financial accounting students, but anyone who works in business can benefit. The Cheat Sheet is seven pages of accounting goodness that you can print and there is also another PDF version that is much larger with a table of contents.Īccounting Cheat Sheet on Kindle $.99 - Throw me a buck : D and please review If I had a release party for every release, I think I would never get any work done.
