This learning area is designed to show students how to take the manual bookkeeping process that they have learnt in Bookkeeping to Trial Balance and Payroll and Monthly SARS Returns, and complete it using computer tools. The tools that will be used are MS Office (MS Excel, MS Word, MS PowerPoint) and Sage Pastel Partner. Although providers may make use of any recognised software to prepare for the computerised accounting component of the ICB assessment (which is based on generic computerised accounting software), the course outline is based on Sage Pastel software
