Accounting For Canadians For Dummies Cheat Sheet

Accountants keep the books of businesses, not-for-profits, and government entities by following systematic methods of recording all financial activities. If you invest your hard-earned money in a private business or a real estate venture, save money in a credit union, or are a member of a nonprofit association or organization, you likely receive regular financial reports. You should read these financial reports carefully, but if you don’t — or if you do but don’t understand what you’re reading — this Cheat Sheet can help you understand the language and necessity of accounting.
