AR, AP and GL, learned on the screens they’ll close the month in.

Accounts receivable applies cash, manages credit and collections. Accounts payable runs the three-way match, pays vendors and voids checks. General ledger posts accruals, reclasses and depreciation, then closes the month.

The mistakes this track trains out

  • Discount taken after the terms expired

    Revenue given away, and the customer learns they can

  • Vendor invoice vouchered twice

    The same bill paid two times

  • Price variance approved without a look

    Paying more than the PO said

  • Accrual never reversed

    The expense lands in two months’ books
