Online Accounting Resources

I was asked to suggest an online English language tutorial site for someone who wants to learn about accounting. Here are the first few sites that I thought of or found. There are many, many more; and if you need them open up your search engine and search for online accounting + tutorials + UK or whatever it is you want to find.

You have been to my site, www.duncanwil.co.uk

Take a look at www.oxbow.org.uk, another one of my sites, where you will find a few things of interest.

www.bized.ac.uk is another really useful site that starts many things at the beginning, which might be what you need!

There is a free bookkeeping tutorial that you can find by clicking the link on this page: http://www.dwmbeancounter.com/ and here’s another one, also free of charge: http://www.simplestudies.com/ These two tutorials are American. Nothing wrong with that except that their vocabulary is different from the other sites which are British based.

A set of tutorials linked to a text book and again relating to American law and accounting practice starts here: http://www.mhhe.com/business/accounting/libby3e/ this is very comprehensive.

Please note, my comments re UK v USA are not bias or rudeness or dismissive: the language of accounting is different in many cases between the two countries and the Standards that both countries follow are also different. In the UK, registered companies now follow TWO sets of Standards, whereas they follow just one in the USA.

Any other suggestions that you have will be more than welcome but please don't send us to that site whose own quality standards have publicly been announced to be unable to aspire to the standards that we set and maintain here at OxBowBusiness.
