This questionnaire is designed to assess your existing knowledge base as a non-profit bookkeeper, and to identify strengths as well as areas for further training.
It covers several key knowledge areas for a full-cycle bookkeeper at a Canadian non-profit.
There are 27 questions in total, with approximately 5 questions for each of the following topic areas:
- Core Accounting Concepts
- Non-Profit Accounting Concepts
- Accounting Terminology & Reporting (specifically in English)
- Numerical Data Manipulation in Software (QBO, Excel)
- Workflows, Internal Controls and Compliance
You are not expected to have all the answers as the assessment is designed to be challenging!
In some cases, the questions may be specific to certain software that you may not regularly use - that's ok, you can either guess or skip these questions.
You may use a calculator.
It takes most applicants between 15-45 minutes to complete but if you need longer, that's okay. There is no time limit. However, please complete this assessment in one sitting.
Remember to read each question carefully.
If you have any feedback (e.g. questions that are not clear) please let us know.
Thank you!
