2 CPE The business world we live and work in would not be able to operate without a reliable method for recording the effects of transactions. A systematic method of recording transactions is necessary if companies such as IBM and General Electric (and even local clothing stores and restaurants) are to generate information with which to make sound business decisions. This systematic method, termed the accounting cycle, has existed for centuries and still works well today. How does the system that captures and processes this information work and why do you need to know about it? This course addresses those questions.
Businesses buy and sell goods or services; borrow and invest money; pay wages to employees; purchase land, buildings, and equipment; distribute earnings to owners; and pay taxes to the government. These activities are referred to as “exchange transactions” because the entity is actually trading (exchanging) one thing for another. To determine how well an entity is managing its resources, the results of transactions must be analyzed. The accounting cycle makes the analysis possible by recording and summarizing an entity’s transactions and preparing reports that present the summary results.
In this course, the debit and credit technique of transaction analysis that has been used by accountants for over 500 years is explained. Although not necessary for an understanding of financial statements, debits and credits provide a useful shorthand for summarizing complex transactions. So get ready for a discussion of double-entry accounting, a system described by the German philosopher Goethe as “among the finest inventions of the human mind.”
Learning Objectives
- Explore the process of transforming transaction data into useful accounting information.
- Explore how to analyze transactions and determine how those transactions affect the accounting equation
- Recognize how to record the effects of transactions using journal entries
- Explore how to summarize the resulting journal entries through posting and prepare a trial balance
- Identify how technology has affected the first three steps of the accounting cycle.

This is a great class for both non accounting and accounting students.

Excellent course by an excellent instructor - my favorite on Illumeo by far. If I could, I'd rate this six stars! The material was thorough, easy to follow, well-organized, and engaging. I loved Dr. Stice's enthusiasm, passion, and humor. I laughed out loud several times during this course. My favorite moments were 1) the way he leans in to the camera to emphasize how the accounting equation works and 2) this line: "You're ready to go to an accounting party when you say: hey, debit cash!" I also loved the way he supports and inspires the learners throughout. Great refresher and some great ideas for explaining accounting concepts to non-accountants. Definitely recommend and will look for more courses by Dr. Stice!

Although a bit surprised that this course qualifies for CPA's CPE - but I will take it! As an occasional accounting instructor I'm often in a position of reviewing fundamentals even with the students in advanced accounting courses. Some material which was missed in Accounting 101 would very often come back to haunt students to the point of them thinking of changing their major. Wish every student has a chance to take this course early in their studies.. Excellent educator!

This course provided an excellent overview of the accounting basics as well as many easy-to-follow examples and illustrations throughout the module. Although the presentation deck is somewhat busy, Professor Stice does an incredible job explaining each of the mechanics, keeping his audience engaged throughout the course. Great refresher for those who don't necessarily spend their day in the Finance department at work. Thanks - I'd recommend to others.

The Best Accounting Basics Ever! The instructor, Mr. Stice, is well versed, so clear and precise. He presented each topic in a very interesting and engaging style, no boredom all throughout. You just want to listen in each and every word that he says. I wished he was my instructor during my first year in B.S. Accounting; I probably would have been a CPA by now and did not switched to B.S. Computer Science.
Glad I took this webinar!

Loved this course! I laughed so much that I cried. I have been a CPA for almost 40 years. I love the joy that the instructor brings to the underlying fundamentals of the mechanics of accounting. "If they would have taught this in first grade, life would have been good." "Like your mother taught you when you were young." Kay Stice is a true accountant to the core. Loved it!

I'm a CPA but took this course to evaluate it for new staff coming into our organization who don't have an accounting degree (e.g. finance, economics, etc.). It's a great overview of the basics and refresher for those who may have had a few classes in college but haven't used the knowledge in awhile. The instructor is very engaging and clearly passionate about the subject.

I have ALWAYS had a complete brain freeze when it came to the understanding of Debits & Credits. This is by far the BEST course I have ever reviewed. The presenter explains things SO clearly and gives many examples to get the point across. I like the presenter video included, it adds so much to the presentation.

That was a little more simplistic than I was expecting, but a good reminder of where many accounting terms come from, and how labor intensive the profession used to be. I plan to have my daughter watch this before her first college accounting class.
