Hi I am taking my Book keeping level one exams in just over a week and wondered if anyone can tell me if I can get hold of some practise exam papers. I have managed to get one off city and guilds site but could do with a few more to practise. Thanks Michelle

I'm doing computerised bookkeeping level 2 with the ICB at the moment. If I pass these exams do I get to say I'm sage certified (at whatever level) or do I need to take the online exam with Sage as well? I'm guessing the answer is yes as it is only Instant Accounts I am using just now. Is there that much of a gap...

I've recently (last night) started learning Sage Instant Account and made a back up. Is the extension for this ".001" ? Ever since I first used computers about 15 years ago I've always had that extension associated with Mastersplitter. Is this really the extension for a Sage back up?

Hi Everyone, Has anyone heard of the 'DIY Accounting' package. Its pretty cheap for a year subscription. The only reason I am asking as I know someone who uses it and I had a quick look the other day and just at a glance it looked quite good but don't know how effective it is compared to QB and SAGE for repor...

I will be studying in hopes of taking the ICB levels 1, 2, 3 manual bookkeeping exams. Once completed I will be learning a computerised package. If I choose to learn sage instant accounts, is it enough to complete a full set of company accounts without the need for an accountant. I am aware that in s...

Hi all, just what I needed first thing in the morning. Ive just received some monthly records from a client, and I can see they have just entered into a new factoring arrangement.

This may sound like a silly question but at work we use a program called MCS, a client rings up and has a query on an invoice and I put the invoice number in and up comes the invoice. I have Sage professional 2010 and I trying to learn it, I know all the basis data enter etc but if a client calls with a query wit...

I've just started with a new client who uses Liberty Accounts, an in-the-cloud system like Xero. It's pretty straightforward apart from when posting debit card payments not to suppliers. If I don't want to pay a bill, just make a bank payment to an expense account, how do I enter it? Liberty always...
