I want to start learning accounting ,Please help

There are almost no active accounting forums to ask beginner accounting questions

I don't know where to start .

Please help

:confused:

Why not start posting and ,you never know there might enough interest to set up this new sub forum?

If nothing else you might begin a discussion others can contribute to.

(I wouldn't have any idea as to where you might find a dedicated accounting forum elsewhere)

Thanks geordief ,


I have started learning it some time ago and the biggest problem was finding a good book of accounting with accounting terms .

The basic of accounting is not that hard , It is just recording the accounting events that happens in the business in a debit and credit side depending on the nature of accounting event

The 5 accounting elements are Asset , Expense , Income , Capital and Liability .

All the accounting events are one of those from a business point of view .

You just records it in a journal / ledger depending on the nature of that accounting event

I was looking for a book of accounting with lots of accounting terminologies and this is a good one i have found .

Principles of Financial Accounting Christine Jonick

I am going to take a print out of that book soon .

About other accounting forums , the only one i know is accountantforums, but its not that active . I never get a proper reply even if i wait for months
