Learn how to use Pastel accounting software to perform common essential bookkeeping tasks.
Pastel Accounting Software course is about how to use Pastel Accounts based on the most popular functions which you as a Pastel Accounting operator needs to know how to use, in order to be proficient in using the software.
The learning is structured in a practical way. You are given a practical scenario assignment. There are various tasks to complete. You are given the task to do and have a go at, and then the video answer is available. It is suggested that you:
You’ll learn how to set up the Pastel accounting system from scratch, how to enter opening balances, post customer invoices and credit notes, post supplier bills and credit notes pay suppliers, petty cash, prepare a VAT return, reconcile the bank, post journals, run reports amongst other things.
This is a useful course if:
-You are thinking of working with the software, -You are going for jobs that have a requirement for you to be able to use this software -You want to put this skill on your CV, or -You are a bookkeeper or accountant and will be using this for clients or even -You run your own business and want to know how to use Pastel for yourself.
You will need to get access to Pastel (look online for a free downloadable link), as the link we had no longer works. As a tutor who has assessed various 'free' accounting software packages out there, in comparison to others, this was one of the easiest and it had a lot of functionality.
The course materials include the handout of the assignment task.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
