Good to know before you start

Two things that surprise most learners from abroad.

German bookkeeping (IKR)

You learn what is examined in Germany: bookkeeping under the HGB (German Commercial Code) with the Industriekontenrahmen (IKR, the standard chart of accounts for industrial companies, four-digit accounts) and German VAT (Umsatzsteuer). Technical terms stay German first and are explained at first mention, for example Soll (debit) and Haben (credit). Account names such as “Verbindlichk. a. LL” stay German as well.

Number format: 1.500,00 €

Amounts always use the German format, in every language: a point separates thousands, a comma comes before the cents. The app never converts them.

In this app (German)1.500,00 €
English notation (not used here)1,500.00 €

Both mean one thousand five hundred euros.

What a task looks like

Every journal entry (Buchungssatz) is written the way German vocational schools teach it: one account per line, “an” (to) indented, debit and credit in separate columns. Account numbers, names and amounts are German.

Office furniture bought on credit: office furniture (Büromöbel, asset) and input VAT (Vorsteuer) in the debit, the supplier debt (Verbindlichkeiten aus Lieferungen und Leistungen) in the credit.

Questions

Is this IFRS or US GAAP?

No. It is German bookkeeping under the HGB with the IKR chart of accounts, as examined in the German training for office management clerks.

Why do amounts look like 1.500,00 €?

That is the German number format: the point groups thousands and the comma separates the cents. 1.500,00 € is one thousand five hundred euros (1,500.00 € in English notation). The app uses the German format in every language.

Do I need to know German?

No, but you will meet German terms and account names all the time – they stay German on purpose, because the exam is in German. Each term is explained at first mention and in the glossary.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. The placement test and a sample exercise are free, without registration and payment details. Open the app and start.

Do I have to cancel anything?

No. A pass is a one-off payment, does not renew and ends automatically.
