Summary

Basic accounting concepts are tested in true or false questions. Students get practice with questions on accounts, the chart of accounts, expenses, liabilities, trial balances and journal entries.

Accounts and the Chart

Accounts are records of changes in financial statement items. The chart of accounts is a list of accounts. It is not the same for each business. Accounts in the ledger are not in alphabetical order.

Expenses and Liabilities

Expenses are costs of goods and services used to generate revenues. Prepaid expenses are not expenses. Unearned revenues are a type of liability. Accounts payable are amounts owed to others.

Trial Balances and Journal Entries

A trial balance does not show the accuracy of the numbers. Errors can still be in the individual accounts. Journal entries record transactions. Posting references show which accounts are involved.

Correcting Errors

Errors can happen in journalizing and posting transactions. Correcting entries fix these errors. Examples include wrong accounts being debited or credited, and amounts being recorded incorrectly.
