During my accounting capstone course, The Wasatch Outerwear Case we used help me to enhance my accounting skills by learning how to read invoices, bill payments, and several other real world documents. We were also taught how to account for major purchases, such as a building, in Quickbooks. This was likely the most realistic accounting experience I’ve had in a classroom setting.

Enhanced Accounting Skills
Using real life, original document cases helped me prepare to use QuickBooks in a “real world” setting. On the job I won’t be handed a list of instructions with exactly how I should interpret each transaction, but I’ll have a paper trail of documents presented through the day, including receipts, invoices, work orders, and other physical copies of paperwork that I would expect to see in a real life scenario. By using realistic paperwork, I was able to read the paper and pull out relevant information that I need to determine which QuickBooks functions I needed to use, and to make the entry properly and accurately.
