Accounting - would ya look over my cheat sheet

<p>I put together a little Excel sheet, which acts as a quick reference guide for the expanded accounting equation. I know this is my first post... but I'm hoping someone/people would look over it and offer some suggestions, critiques or corrections.</p>

<p>I am not able to add attachments, so I uploaded it to my 4shared account 4shared.com</a> - online file sharing and storage - download AccountingEquation.xlsx - the downside to this free service is you have to wait 10 seconds to open the file -- of course, if you pay, you won't have to wait..... hense my "downside" comment ;-) me likey freeee</p>

<p>Anyway, I would be greatful for any comments etc.</p>

<p>Thanks,
Josh</p>

<p>Here’s a shameless bump. Just to see if anyone new might come across this.</p>

<p>Why are you posting this in this forum? What its relevance?</p>

<p>Because my major is in Accounting. </p>

<p>I thought this would be the most relevant section. I did however, think about putting this in the Business Major, but made a last-minute choice of “other.”</p>

<p>I’m new here - and to Accounting, for that matter. From what I have seen, Accounting is not a highly chosen major. I just thought I might have been able to get some comments/reviews on my little cheat sheet. I think it’s ok, as it stands but perhaps it’ll change once I take Acct.2.</p>

<p>Thanks,
Josh</p>

<p>the post is really helpful, I have my first test in accounting in a few days and I just couldn’t remember all the information. We are allowed to use one cheat sheet and this is the most helpful and understandable, Thanks!</p>

<p>LOL I’m glad it will help. Good luck with your test. If you check back, there’s a nice little youTude series you might be interested in. </p>

<p>EXCELLENT STUFF!!!</p>

<p>I’m having trouble opening this again, but I saw a few mistakes when I looked at it before. I think you had Notes payable under ST liabilities, but they’re more often LT. Unearned fees are usually a ST liability. The Owner’s Equity statement begins and ends with Capital; the Retained Earnings statement begins and ends with (duh) Retained earnings. Things like that.</p>

<p>ST / LT Liabilities are separeted by the “+” </p>

<p>I will definitely look at the unearned fees. I appreciate your feedback and will updated my sheet accordingly.</p>

<p>THanks,
Josh</p>

<p>Its a little shocking, but that excel sheet has been downloaded a few hundred times.</p>

<p>I created another excel sheet. This one is for ratios.
