This course will teach you about keeping accurate financial records and financial problem-solving. It will include:

  • Financial accounting – preparing accounts for sole traders, partnerships, limited companies and clubs

Accounting combines well with business and economics, and subjects that use skills such as debating, evaluating arguments and theories, and extracting and analysing information from different sources.
