The main focus of this course was gearing all the chart accounts (journal, general ledger and trial balance) towards the financial statements which I appreciated. I left here understanding the rules of debits and credits more, something which I previously struggled with. The owner's equity subdivided into capital + sales revenue - expenses was also gave me insight into the bigger picture as this was never really covered in this way in other courses.

Could have given better and more examples on accrual and deferred section. And chapter 12 in the cash flow section especially for operation activities was poorly explained and no effort to go in details to make things clear for students knowing that there is $1,000 not showing in the general ledger for cash when we paid for the creditors but its effecting the balance which made me confused for some time till i went back several lectures to check on it.
