I already took an Accounting 101 course, so this was more of a review for me. Regardless, I found the course to be a good review and everything was explained clearly to me.
This was interesting my experience with aje has been limited to working for one company. For instance, we never post transactions for prepaids to expense accounts. Always use prepaids and then amortize monthly.
