The Real Accountant

Academics from our department manage The Real Accountant YouTube channel, which covers how accounting matters in the real world, whether you're trying to make a buck or save the planet. The Real Accountant demystifies accounting, debunks misconceptions and demonstrates that accounting is not about rules or numbers but storytelling with data – a story that impacts everyone living in the real world.

Their first series covers the VCE accounting curriculum and explains key concepts in simple terms and using real-world case studies. Check out When Can Bad Debts Be Good? below:
