Synopsis

This course provides students with an introduction to financial accounting systems and software (both manual and electronic). We cover the complete accounting cycle and also the basics of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Enrolment in this course requires continuous access to an IBM PC or IBM compatible microcomputer (Windows operating system) and Microsoft Office Excel, Word, PowerPoint software, either via a student's own arrangements or a USQ study centre. The accounting software can be purchased from the USQ Bookshop. It also requires good Internet connection capable of handling multi-media as classes are streamed live and recorded for replay. If students want to interact with classes at a distance they need microphone and speakers (or headset) and a web cam should they wish to send video.
