A Recommended Site by Erin
We have a website recommended by Erin M. (Grade 6 student) and her mom. Erin wrote to us to let us know that she found this website during her research for a project on money and accounting. Erin notes that it would be a great resource for all kids doing research on money and simple accounting. Thank you for sharing this, Erin! See Link below for some info on the website:
A Kid's Guide to Accounting
http://www.ignitespot.com/kids-guide-to-accounting
Managing money involves keeping track of the income you earn to make sure you have enough money to cover your expenses. Businesses have to keep track of their finances with careful (bookkeeping). This type of accounting requires a system of writing down all financial transactions. By recording these transactions, it's then possible to summarize, analyze, and create reports about how well a company is managing its finances and making ends meet. Just like a business, people need to perform personal accounting to make sure they manage their money effectively.
