I have read some material but i am still finding it hard to understand. I was not very good at bookkeeping/accounting in school so it remains a challenge to me. But i think the main difficulty was the language or examples used in teaching.

Bookkeeping is a trying subject. But it is possible to present it in an engaging manner. The secret lies in the facilitators understanding the level at which the participants are and in using interactive methods of content delivery.

okay. so i know the basics of bookkeeping/record keeping (are they the same?) like keeping a record of what you have on hand and how much you got them at. but how do i calculate at what price to resell a good/product?

Hi Kangwa, I am happy to hear that you understand book keeping better. The terms recordkeeping and book keeping are used interchangebly. But they both basically mean keeping a written record of the movement of cash in your business.

Costing and pricing is usually presented as a different topic.

In my experience as an entrepreneur, i have found it very difficult to use book keeping because i have not done any training. However, i feel after this training, i will be able to do book keeping in my enterprise as i have heard from other people who use it that it is the most effective way of keeping track of whatever is happening in a business

Hi Don't we all love to hate maths and numbers?? lol I agree with you 110%. Delivery of any subject that involves math/figures has proved to be a challenge for centuries. This could be maily attributed to peoples attitude towards figures. Generally people think that math is difficult. In my opinion, a discussion of book keeping should therefore begin with "de-miystifying" math!!

Susiku Nasinda (talk)23:10, 14 January 2011

I totally agree with you Susiku that we need to demistify maths. This is the reason why we need to demonstrate to our youth entrepreneurs that maths is a practical topic for use in day to day activities such in bookkeeping for their small business ventures.
