Foreword by John Talbot F.C.A.

Although it is many years since I took the exams which led to my becoming a chartered accountant, certain things linger in the mind, and my initial encounter with double-entry book-keeping is one of them.

This guide has re-awoken the memory of trying to make sense of debits and credits and the basics of accounting. It presents a new approach to arming a student with an understanding of the principles of double-entry book-keeping.

I have been very impressed by the techniques created by the author, and by the jargon free explanations. I feel sure that this guide will save many people a great deal of time in understanding basic principles, and it is one that I would have welcomed had it been available when I started my accounting studies.


Introduction

There are many ways of keeping your accounts (including a shoe-box!), but the preferred method, used by every trained book-keeper and accountant throughout the world, is double-entry.

Many books and courses are already available. However, most are taught from an academic view point. They tend to throw you in at the deep end and assume you will not be overcome by the tidal wave of jargon.

This guide takes an entirely different approach. By using just a few transactions and some simple guidelines you will understand the logic of double-entry, and by the use of a few key words the jargon will fall into place.

Words like nominal ledger and trial balance will become second nature. You will have no problem with your debits and credits. In short, you will be able to post a journal just as easily as you can now post a letter!

By the end, you will be able to talk, and understand, the same language as the professionals - and that includes your bank manager, accountant and tax inspector.
