Presenting you with a few quizzes over time about basic accounting principles. I learned these skills in high school back in the the early eighties, but they are still basically the same over time, as I have seen in some current textbooks. I had studied business subjects in high school for I thought that I would be working in an office somewhere as an office clerk or even as a bookkeeping clerk. These two job positions probably do not even exist anymore in today’s work world.
