Accounting.Why it is so difficult to learn?

For me, basic accounting was fun... but with higher accounting subject, wwaaaahhhh!!! And to think that not all the accounting subjects we learned are done in actual practice.

People will forget what you did.

But people will never forget

...shortcuts swissgirl.....as with any discipline, law, medicine, engineering, art, you have to learn the fundamentals which then become the building blocks...may I recommend Frank Wood's "Introduction to Accounting" it's (vol 1 & 2) an authority..and also check out the special manuals produced for students of CIMA, ACCA and ACA which you find at professional bookshops or advertised for sale by students once they have finished their exams...try the noticeboards at the Uni...finally, you will either "get it" or you won't but don t give up too early as it normally just all falls into place and the veil is lifted!

Buy a small pocket notepad ( I mean really small) and make notes in that....mumtaz!

it's definitely not objective with only one anwer...look at any accounting textbook and you will see at least three ways of valuing stock - LIFO,FIFO and Weighted Average...and each one will change the "bottom line". And then there's "re-stating" the financial results....but there are guidleins...however your advice is sound...swissgirl should be looking at the big picture and not seeing it as "book-keeping" which btw, spreadsheets won't do for you.....and then there is depreciation...how you choose to write off the cost of an asset over it's lifetime...all very subjective....and who said accountancy can't be fun???? (Not me)

swissgirl, think abt the practical application of any subject that you want to learn, makes it easier...

for instance, in accounting, see the bigger picture... see the questions being answered, let excel to the tidious add/sub. Its very objective, just one right answer... makes life simpler that way :)
