In this second section, we will go back to basics with the fundamentals of accounting that you absolutely need to master for your interviews. 

We start by the fundamentals of accounting:

Finally, the last chapter will focus on mapping the links between all financial statements so that you can have a clear understanding of them. The purpose of this is for you to understand the impacts of some accounting operations on all three financial statements.
