  • Algorithmic Practice Sets Each student will have unique (individualized) beginning General Ledger and subsidiary ledger balances. Students are required to entry daily, adjusting, and closing entries for the last month of the last quarter of the fiscal year.  Each week of the last month is divided into “modules".  At the end of each module, students are required to print a trial balance and check their account balances against check figures that are unique to each student’s ledger balances.  Students are required to answer questions from a Mid-Project Evaluation and from a Final Evaluation. The correct evaluation answers are based on the individual student's work and financial documents.

  • Problem Set Programs contains a series of problems designed to test the journalizing and analyzing skills of first-year accounting students.  Questions at the end of each problem give the student the opportunity to  use their documents for analysis and decision making. Each problem has a set of check figures to assist the student in quickly verifying their work or correcting errors.
