In Your ACC3704 Context

If your assignment asks for “proper post” of a given transaction, they likely want:

  1. Journal entry (already given or you need to prepare it)
  2. T‑accounts or general ledger format showing:
    • Account name & number
    • Date
    • Explanation (optional in ledger, but often required)
    • Posting reference (e.g., GJ1)
    • Debit or credit amount
    • New balance after posting
  3. Cross‑reference – the journal’s Post Ref column filled with ledger account numbers.

Here is the secret that university career centers don't tell you: Candidates with strong ACC3704 skills skip the "Junior" phase faster.

When you enter a firm as a trainee accountant, everyone knows how to reconcile a bank statement. But junior staff who understand why the segregation of duties matters, or how to articulate an ethical dilemma to a partner, are rare.
