6 What is BOOKKEEPING? Bookkeeping involves the accurate recording of the financial transactions that take place in an organisation on a daily basis. General bookkeeping tasks may include: Making journal entries (to record each transaction) Posting journal entries to ledger accounts Filing source documents Paying accounts Preparing invoices Sending statements to customers/clients Processing payroll data

7 What is Accounting, and how does it differ from Bookkeeping? Accounting involves classifying, summarising, reporting, analysing, and interpreting financial data so that it can be used for decision-making purposes. General accounting activities may include using the data recorded during the bookkeeping process to: Draw up financial statements Perform calculations Compile financial reports Accounting is similar to bookkeeping in the sense that it also involves working with financial data, and also plays a role in the accounting cycle. However, while bookkeeping is only involved in the initial recordkeeping stage, accounting is involved at every stage of the accounting cycle. It is useful to note that, in theory, there is a clear distinction between accounting and bookkeeping, but in practice, there is an overlap of the roles of accountants and bookkeepers.

8 What will you learn You will learn about the accounting cycle, general financial principles, and how to maintain and interpret financial records. When you study a short course: You will acquire in-depth knowledge and skills relating to the main topic of your course. When you study towards a National Certificate in Financial Management you will learn about: The challenges of entrepreneurship The financial plan Basic communication principles Meeting procedures Reports An introduction to the computer Computerised bookkeeping Opening a set of accounts for a service enterprise Opening a set of accounts for a retail business Accounting theories, principles, and concepts The periodic inventory system Cash flow statements of sole proprietors The information provided serves as an indication of what you will learn please note that this will vary from one course to another (within the relevant category).

9 How will you be assessed? Oxbridge Academy Short Courses: You will be assessed through written assignments, which you can submit via post or , or via the Online Student Portal. You will not be required to write any exams. National Certificates: You will be assessed through a combination of written assignments and exams. You will be able to write your exams at your nearest designated exam centre. (The exam centres are situated all over South Africa).

10 What will you be able to do once you ve successfully completed your course? Once you have completed your course, you will have developed a basic set of skills in bookkeeping and/or accounting. You will then be able to decide whether you want to study further, or whether you want to look for work in the financial field. The type of course that you complete will influence the types of jobs that you will be able to apply for. Keep in mind that, because every business needs someone to look after their finances, bookkeepers and accountants can work in almost any type of organisation in almost any type of industry. Smaller businesses might outsource their finance functions to a freelance bookkeeper or accountant, or to an accounting firm, while bigger businesses might employ numerous bookkeepers and accountants in their own financial departments.
