MYOB for Beginners using AccountRight Plus v19

Preface

This workbook has been written to cover all the basic information on how to use MYOB AccountRight [Standard, Plus, Premier and Enterprise] using v19 and v19.5 [and MYOB AccountEdge v8.5 and 9]. You start the workbook by exploring a data file already set up to become familiar with the various Command Centres. You then learn how to enter data including cash receipts and payments, sales invoices, customer payments, purchase invoices and supplier payments. Some inventory is included. Reconciliation of bank accounts, debtors and creditors is carried out. The customising of invoices is also covered. End of financial year transactions including journal entries are also entered. A variety of reports are printed to expose the user to a number of basic reports which can be used to analyse the business. You then learn how to set up a data file from scratch, enter opening balances and revise the entering of transactions and carry out reconciliations. The Business Activity Statement is prepared using the data entered. This workbook contains detailed step by step instructions with the aid of screen dumps to assist the user to learn MYOB AccountRight and assure the user that the data is being entered accurately. The outstanding feature of this book is the drilling down of transactions to explain what is happening in the data file to assist in the understanding of how MYOB AccountRight works. This workbook is similar to the Introduction to MYOB using MYOB AccountRight v19. However this work contains additional exercises and information to meet the following competencies. Anticipated time taken by the average user to complete this workbook is 30 hours. This workbook can cover all the competencies in the following units:

BSBFIA301A - Maintain financial records BSBFIA303A - Process accounts payable and receivable BSBFIA304A - Maintain a general ledger FNSACCT407B [except Performance Criteria 3.2]

There are assessments on the Teachers Resource CD to cover BSBFIA301A, BSBFIA303A and BSBFIA304A. ISBN: 978-1-921780-18-9 Revised Edition: 15 May, 2011
