FAQS

What’s on the Accounting CDs?

The CDs provide a program for each of the financial accounting and cost accounting subjects. Each program introduces the subject, gives definitions and worked examples. There are then tasks for the student to complete on screen. By entering the right answers in each of the designated cells the programs let the student know whether they are correct as they go along.
The answers to each of the tasks are given at the end of each program.
