Ratings and reviews

As I am not involved in any way at all in accounting, it probably gives me a better opportunity to give that 'junior' review; This is a wonderful book with basic steps to start to get a grip of this more complex subject. I firmly believe all students should get a much more holistic education when it concerns financial awareness. Basic accounting fits in there very well indeed. Great work Annelize.

Annelize has written this step by step guide to learning accounting in a way that is easy to understand. Her use of visuals also helps tremendously with this. I can see that she has a passion for teaching this subject to others. Even thought this was written for school level, I think that new entrepreneurs could also benefit from it. As entrepreneurs, even if we outsource this function of our business, it is crucial to understand the basics of how to read a balance sheet or an income statement and to be able to manage our cash flow. Once one understands the concepts behind accounting, it is also very easy to use an accounting package. Well done Annelize, I am sure your book is going to be a great success!

I am not at all familiar with Accounting concepts still was able to understand all. Very well explained and really nice approach to make subject more interesting and enforces you to learn more.....Must go for it....:-)

About the author

Annelize qualified in 1981 in Training and Human Resources and studied Accounting at UNISA for non-degree purposes prior to starting this business. She taught many students from all backgrounds, cultures, Universities, Schools and other Institutions. She is a strong believer in diversification and teaches basically any syllabus, thus having extensive experience in teaching Accounting. She makes use of computer technology to help cope with the workload. And this is what she says: "Learning from others every day is a unique experience, fulfilling in every sense. Therefore I have a special passion for those that I walk with - my students and pupils......" In 2010 she decided that it was time to package her knowledge and instead of writing yet another Accounting book that her students encouraged her to do, she thought of something out of the box and not yet experienced by the South African market. She resourced overseas programmes and came up with the interactive concept where the learner can experience a step by step approach on how to master tasks, and repeating the tasks over and over again until the skill is mastered. Coupled with the concept of interactivity, interactive quizzes were also created, testing the basic accounting skills as the tasks are mastered. This builds a solid foundation in which the learner can flourish and cope in the classroom environment with subsequent tasks given to them. This programme is not meant to replace the teaching in the classroom, but to support the facilitator in a challenging environment where classes are sometimes too big and no focused attention can be paid to all the learners. Annelize has through trial and error and many years of teaching and discovering how students learn, developed a model for the challenging technological world where the educator has to be equipped in meeting the needs of the young learner who has grown up with technology. This e-book is a simplified version of the Interactive Study Guides.
