Where can I learn very basic bookkeeping and accounting principles by Monday?

paddlinglikecrazy asked:


I got a job call for Monday. I have to take a 100 question test, 4 categories. Two of the categories are bookkeeping and accounting. I’ve looked all over the internet and have come up broke. Any suggestions?

Areas: maintain general and subsidiary ledger records; post entries; balance against other records; post charges; principles and practices of bookkeeping.

Here’s the tough one. The job is with the City. The program used is the Municipal accounting system. I’ve never used it. I may be tested on that also.

I wonder if I will be asked questions like “What is the basic accounting equation?”

I have quite a bit of financial experience; experience with budgets, making payments, maintaining records, etc., but nothing like this. The programs I used were dedicated to the company and the work was specialized.

Honestly, I’m a little nervous about the test.

Thanks!
