[GNC] Recommend Accounting Books

[David Cousens]

Johnathon

Do a Google search for textbooks on Financial Accounting. You will
likely get the accounting offerings from the major textbook publishers
relevant to your location. If you can access the book lists/handbooks
of the business schools in local universities for introductory
coursesyou will likely pick up a text book that is suited for your
jurisdiction, although introductory books tend not to address specific
jurisdictional requirements - that is usually addressed in later
subjects.

There is also free inventory management software available although
much of it will be free for one app which is part of an integrated
suite and to get anything useful you will need the full suite. How well
it interfaces with GnuCash is unknown. Look for CSV /OFXexport of the
accounting information.
