Xero Assignment - Part 1

As outlined in the subject guide, one of the assessments of the subject is to use Xero, an accounting online software package, to record and report financial information.

About Xero

Xero is a cloud-based accounting software, which is widely used by small and medium-sized        businesses in Australia and New Zealand. The ability to use Xero has become not only one of the critical employability skills required from an accounting major graduate, but also a great addition if one is to start their own business after graduation.

To get you started with the accounting software, and to equip you with the skills needed to complete your Xero assignment, in Part 1 of your Xero assignment, we have prepared

a Xero introduction course. In this introduction course, you will be guided to log into                   the software, and you will have access to detailed step-by-step instruction which enables you to   get familiar with the functions of Xero before doing Part 2 of your assignment. In short,  Part 1 is a crash course to Xero!
