Core Competency Community College of Vermont Course Subject Office Accounting 1 Last Update October 2017 Rationale I chose to use this as an artifact for my college class because I shows that I am able to complete accounting. I did well on this problem. The reason I chose this problem is because it shows that I can do different things. I had to be able to record transactions, post, and rule the journal. Knowledge To complete this artifact I had to know how to post to a general journal. I also had to know and understand the main functions of accounting. Another thing I needed to know how to do was carry the totals forward. I had to figure out what ledgers to post the numbers too as well. Skills In this reinforcement activity, I had to be able to know how to use a thing called the general journal. I also had to know where each number had to be journalized. Some accounts have a credit balance and others had a debit balance and it was my job to be able to know what each one was. I also had to be able to post a ledger. After I was done doing all of that, I had to post and make sure the numbers match. Growth and Improvement I learned a lot by the time I got faced with this Statement problem. I would have never been able to complete this problem and do well on it at the beginning of the school year. I learned how to journalize transactions, post totals, prove the journal, and prove cash which I used all of these in this reinforcement activity.
