Accounting (UZ/RU)

What accounting is and why it matters today

Accounting is the consistent, document-based recording of how an organization’s money, property and obligations move. Every company, small shop or family business needs to know exactly how much money came in, how much went out, whom it owes and who owes it. Without that information it is impossible to make sound decisions or meet tax obligations on time.

Everyday examples are everywhere: a bakery buys flour and sells bread, a café calculates its staff’s wages, a construction firm receives materials into its warehouse, an online shop takes payments through a bank. Each of these operations is backed by a document and reflected in the books. As record-keeping moves more and more into electronic form, today’s accountant needs not only to know the rules but also to work confidently with software.

The program is taught in two languages — Uzbek and Russian; you can indicate your preferred language when choosing a group.

What you will learn and do in class

The program lasts 4 months, consists of 36 lessons and starts from zero. Most of the course is hands-on work in 1C.

Accounting fundamentals. In the first stage you will learn how the balance sheet is structured and what assets and liabilities are. You will master debit and credit through simple examples — for instance, which account goes up and which goes down when cash arrives at the till. You will get to know the chart of accounts and practice placing each operation in the right account. Already at this stage you will draw up simple entries for a small firm on paper and in an Excel sheet.

Primary documents. The second stage covers document flow: where a document originates, who signs it and where it is kept. For cash and bank operations you will practice filling in receipt and payment orders and working with bank statements. Under inventory you will learn to record goods received into stock, goods issued and the results of a stock count. You will also get practical tasks on spotting errors in documents.

1C software. In the third stage you start by setting up the program — entering the organization’s details and filling in the reference lists. Then you enter daily operations: purchases, sales, cash, bank and payroll. Finally, you generate reports in the program and check their figures against the entries you prepared by hand. Exporting data to Excel for analysis is practiced too.

Tax and reporting. The fourth stage covers the types of tax and their general logic, keeping track of filing deadlines, and the practice of filing electronically through services such as my.soliq.uz. The course concludes with a full monthly reporting cycle based on a real company: from the primary document to the finished report.

A typical day for an accountant

An accountant’s day usually begins with going through incoming paperwork: suppliers’ invoices, bank statements, cash documents. Each one is checked and entered into the system. Then payments are prepared, balances with customers are reconciled and stock levels are monitored.

The end of the month is the most demanding period. This is when wages are calculated, expenses are closed off, reconciliation statements are drawn up and reports are prepared. The accountant also prepares short summaries for management: how much money is available and which payments are due. Precision, order and respect for deadlines are the key qualities in this profession.

Today an accountant spends much of the day at a computer: checking data in the system, working with electronic documents and answering questions from colleagues and management. Because rules and reporting forms are updated from time to time, a good specialist regularly follows changes in official sources and keeps their knowledge up to date.

Where these skills are used

Accounting knowledge is needed in almost every sector: retail, manufacturing, services and non-profit organizations. After the course you can try yourself in these directions:

• gaining experience in a company as an assistant accountant or cashier;
• keeping the books of your own business;
• helping small firms with their record-keeping;
• deepening your knowledge and preparing for higher or specialized secondary education or professional certification.

Finding a job depends on your own initiative, practice and the labor market — the course gives you a solid foundation to start from.

How to prepare before the course starts

• Refresh your basic computer skills: working with files, copying and saving.
• Build a simple table in Excel and try formulas for adding, subtracting and summing.
• For one month, record your household income and expenses in a spreadsheet — it builds the habit of keeping records.
• Read about the terms “asset”, “liability”, “debit” and “credit” in open sources.
• Set aside a little time each day to practice working carefully with numbers.
