What costs the most marks in Accounting.
Accounting is unforgiving in a way most subjects are not: an error in the first adjustment travels through the trial balance, the income statement and the balance sheet. One mistake, four questions lost.
Year-end adjustments and the cash flow statement are where it usually happens. Both are procedural. Both are learnable. Neither is learnable by reading — a learner has to work through them repeatedly with someone checking each line.
My balance sheet is out by R4 200 and I’ve checked it three times.
An amount out by exactly one figure usually means one side of an adjustment was posted. Did you do a depreciation adjustment this year?
Yes, R4 200.
Then check the accumulated depreciation side. You have almost certainly expensed it without crediting the contra-asset.

Accounting homework help, at the hour it is needed.
Accounting homework is long. A single question can take forty minutes, and if it goes wrong in the first ten there is nothing at home to catch it.
Photograph the working. Grace reads the actual ledger or statement your child has drawn up, finds the line where it broke, and explains the entry rather than just correcting it.
- Photograph a ledger, journal or statement and get it checked line by line

Questions about Accounting tutoring.
Does it cover the Grade 12 cash flow statement?
Yes, and it is worth the practice — it is one of the highest-value and most commonly lost sections in the paper.
Can it check my child’s working?
Yes. Photograph the ledger or statement and Grace works through it with your child to find where it broke.
Does it help with interpretation questions?
Yes. Calculating a ratio is the easy half; explaining what it means for the business is where the marks are.
