Already have Bookkeeping experience? Ready to develop your skills further?

Recording transactions accurately is an important part of bookkeeping. But as responsibilities increase, you may also need to interpret financial information, identify discrepancies and understand what the figures are telling you.

That's where more advanced bookkeeping knowledge becomes valuable.

Lir's QQI Level 6 Bookkeeping (Manual & Computerised) course builds on existing bookkeeping skills and explores areas including:

- Control accounts and bank reconciliations
- Identifying and correcting bookkeeping errors
- Accruals and prepayments
- Preparing financial statements and reports
- Analysing financial information and key performance indicators

This course may suit experienced bookkeepers, accounts staff and finance administrators who want to develop more advanced skills and gain recognised QQI certification.
