My name is Stephanie and I am a bookkeeper/accounting technician in
Ontario, Canada. I've been a full-cycle bookkeeper for 9 years and I am
currently attending college part-time with the intention of obtaining a
Accounting & Finance diploma, Honours B.Comm and CGA designation.
I am currently writing a book on small business bookkeeping I hope to
self publish, but I am also working on a seminar on the same topic. By
coincidence, I have a presentation to make for my effective business
writing course. I have decided to cover something I was planning to
write about for my book/seminar.
I would like to ask the group's accountants to please send me your
best/worst examples of 1) how a small business owner's attempts at
their own bookkeeping has made a mess, and 2) how someone who claims to
be an experienced bookkeeper has made a mess.
I am looking for the most common mistakes, large or small, and the ones
most easily avoided by having some basic knowlege of bookkeeping and
its purpose.
Thanks in advance,
Stephanie Serba, ICIA

Kudos for all that you're trying to accomplish. I wish you luck & success!
I can provide examples of me, a non-bookkeeper, had to undo the messes of a
bookkeeper, and several CPAs.

Please forward them offline.
Yes, forward them offline. Don't share this information with the others on
the group. They are not worthy.
I don't want to bog down the group. If people want to post their horror
stories, by all means.
I'd appreciate a CC to my home email so I can keep a record of my
research.
