If we are a business owner who would like more assurance about our books, a business professional who would like to advance our career by learning the importance of bank reconciliations, or an accounting student who would like to see the critical internal control of bank reconciliations applies to real work software, this QuickBooks course is a course for us. Why choose this course? The bank reconciliation process is the second biggest internal control for most companies and one both large and small companies can, and should, implement. Reconciling the bank account provided a MUCH larger scene of assurance that our financial data and the financial reports are complete and correct. We will demonstrate the bank reconciliation process for two months in QuickBooks. The first month of operations is often the most difficult to enter because we must deal with the begging balance. The second month and thereafter is generally much easier to reconcile using QuickBooks software but something that takes some time to fully understand conceptional. We will also run the bank reconciliation process using Excel worksheets, which will provide a more conceptual view of how the process works and how the bank reconciliation report is generated from the process. Who will we be learning from? You will be learning from somebody who has technical experience in accounting concepts and in accounting software like QuickBooks, as well as experience teaching and putting together a curriculum. You will be learning from somebody who is a: CPA – Certified Public AccountantCGMA – Chartered Global Management AccountantMaster of Science in TaxationCPS – Certifies Post-Secondary InstructorCurriculum Development Expo As a CPS and professor, the instructor has taught many accounting classes and worked with many students in the fields of accounting, business, and bus

IntroductionI had a job interview in 2014 where I was asked what is Bitcoin. All I could say back then was that Bitcoin was “Internet Pirate Gold” because of a documentary I had seen on the Silk Road. Fortunately my answer was satisfactory at the time and I got the job. Throughout the next few years I would learn more about the blockchain.In a nutshell:Bitcoin allows for a number to be securely transferred between addresses. The sender subtracts this number from their total and the receiver adds this number to their total. There is a rule that prevents the sender from sending a number larger than their total.Ethereum allows for more complex logic to be securely carried out. Various applications can be built and a range of different types of tokens can be created and transferred, such as an NFT.Both Bitcoin and Ethereum use a blockchain for security reasons, however this comes at a huge computing cost and so high fees are needed to complete transactions securely.Fortunately for us new technology has emerged which allows us to enjoy the security of the blockchain without the high fees. The Polygon Network can do all the complex logic of Ethereum at a fraction of the cost.Technically, Polygon is a protocol and a framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. Aggregating scalable solutions on Ethereum supporting a multi-chain Ethereum ecosystem.But this course is for people who want to use blockchain and don’t necessarily want to understand exactly how it works.Part 1: How to use blockchainHow to setup a Metamask account - your passport to Web3How to connect to the Polygon Network - the best blockchain to begin withHow to get Matic and Wrapped Ether tokens on PolygonHow to mint your first NFT on OpenSeaHow to buy your first NFT on OpenSea
