WHAT IS A BOOK
KEEPER?
Book keeping is
a growing
profession - it
is demanding,
exciting,
challenging and
above all,
rewarding. It is
about
understanding
how a business
works and then
providing
accurate figures
that enable the
business to know
exactly how well
it is doing. For
men and women of
all ages and
from all
backgrounds it
provides
outstanding
career
opportunities.
A CAREER
IN BOOK KEEPING
Every business,
no matter how
large or small,
is required by
law to 'keep
books'. This
involves the
recording of the
financial
transactions of
a business,
whether manually
into ledgers or
by entering
everything onto
a computer. So,
if you are well
organised and
methodical, like
working through
documents and
enjoy seeing
a set of figures
add up properly,
book keeping
could be the
career for you.
People of all
ages are
becoming
book keepers:
Young people
fresh from
school or
college can
achieve a
professional
qualification
that opens up a
whole new world
of business to
them or may
become the first
step to becoming
a qualified
accountant. More
mature people
bring years' of
experience to
their role and
are in great
demand from
businesses who
want a safe pair
of hands. Many
are mothers
wanting to find
a well-paid
career running a
book-keeping
business from
home whilst
still bringing
up their family.
YOU AND
THE INSTITUTE
The Institute of
Certified
Book keepers was
established to
provide a series
of professional
qualifications
that reflect the
needs of
business and the
aspirations of
people wanting
to enter the
profession. It
exists to
represent
book keepers at
all levels and
to promote the
professionalism
of book keepers
to business,
government and
the general
public.
Becoming a
member of the
Institute is

club. You will
receive strong
on-going support
from a team of
qualified
professionals.
You will have
access to free
legal and
technical
advice. You will

opportunity to
meet other
book keepers and
to update your
skills through
continuing
professional
development
seminars.
The Institute
has more than
150,000 students
and members
spread across
more than fifty
countries,
making it the

How Does Home Study Work?
-
The courses consist of a
series of lessons which take you from the very first
principals through to final accounts preparation.
-
At the end of each lesson
there are questions which must be completed and submitted to
the tutor.
-
The answers can be sent by
post or E-Mail.
-
Your answers are marked,
commented on and valuable personalised individual feedback
is given.
-
Communications are always
maintained throughout and your tutor is available to discuss
individual needs.
-
Once marked, your answers are
returned to you either by post or E-Mail together with a set
of 'model' answers. In this way your progress is monitored,
you can work at your own pace and build up a 'library' of
model answers.
Studying from home allows you to
work in a way that suits you best with a limited change to your
normal daily routine. It is a cost effective way of enhancing
and developing your skills and thereby improving your career
prospects. Home study has been proved to be a flexible and
effective study method by literally thousands of successful
students over the years. |
