The University Controller’s Office is excited to announce the launch of Journal Entry 101, the final course needed to complete the Finance Professional 1 certification program! This highly anticipated, self-paced online course is designed for colleges and departments that create financial transactions in the Financial System—especially those responsible for creating and approving journal entries.
Through interactive lessons, knowledge checks and guided demonstrations, Journal Entry 101 provides a hands-on, immersive learning experience that allows participants to practice journal entry processes in a risk-free, simulated environment. This engaging approach enhances skill development, improves decision-making abilities, boosts learner confidence and increases knowledge retention.
By completing this course, participants will learn how to:
- Determine when a journal entry is needed.
- Determine what constitutes accurate and complete supporting documentation for journal entries.
- Create journals that include accurate supporting documentation.
- Review and approve journals that are correctly created and that include accurate supporting documentation.
To be successful, participants should have basic knowledge of debits and credits and must complete Accounting 101 and Internal Controls for Financial Data—the two other courses in the certification program.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your financial expertise and gain the confidence to handle journal entries with accuracy and efficiency. Sign up for Journal Entry 101 today!
