Learning outcomes

Business accounting documents all business transactions in a company and is the basis for internal and external accounting. Understanding accounting is essential for understanding the processes in a company - no decision in the company can be made without being able to estimate the consequences in the figures.

Students are familiar with the most important activities from the opening balance sheet to the closing balance sheet / profit and loss account, they know the connection between stocktaking, inventory and closing balance sheet.

Students understand the logic of double-entry bookkeeping and the interplay of closing balance sheet and profit and loss account - they understand the accounting cycle of double-entry bookkeeping and can open the annual accounts with the corresponding entries, make current entries and close them accordingly. They recognise accounting-relevant facts and they deepen their understanding of the importance of accounting for the result-oriented management of a company with the help of the business game "Factory".

Students can create an inventory from stocktaking data and prepare a closing balance sheet and a profit and loss account, including correct representation of VAT, taking into account accounting-relevant business transactions.
