Seton’s basic accounting course uses the book The Accounting Game, which was developed as a tool in a seminar for non-accounting, business executives.

It was written to give these businessmen a better understanding of the three basic accounting documents: the Balance Sheet, the Cash Statement, and the Income Statement, or Profit / Loss Statement (P&L).

The book follows a young entrepreneur as he learns his business with a lemonade stand. The textbook includes many hands-on exercises and an answer key. Seton has added several supplements in the lesson plan to make some areas more clear.

This is not a bookkeeping course. There are no journal entries or book closings to worry about in this course.
