Study Materials Written by LaVerne Funderburk

In addition to writing the UIL Accounting contest materials, my goal is to write study materials for contest preparation. This section of the website lets you know what is currently available, how to order, and what materials are under construction. As you consider how you will use your contest study materials spending budget for this school year, please remember that several products are currently under construction and may not be available until much later in the school year. Thank you for considering these Accounting study aids.

The most recent addition to the order form is the 2010 LFCPA District Practice Test. I am currently writing a regional practice test. It is my hope to write a practice test for the state level in time for use this year. The next concept builder under construction is the state level concept of financial statement analysis.

If you wish to be notified by direct e-mail when new products are available, please e-mail me and ask to be placed on that list. (Tell your spam filter to consider me a trusted friend.)

Download and print the Order Form below. Scanned/E-mailed orders are acceptable provided both this order form and the school's purchase order form are transmitted. If you require expedited shipping, please e-mail me to make those arrangements. Sorry, NO telephone orders.

NEW!! 2010 LFCPA District Practice Exam is Ready!

This test does include payroll and will be the only district practice exam I will write this year. When writing this test, my focus was to use concepts that did not get included in UIL Set A or Set B although you can always expect certain concepts to be included on any invitational or district level test (okay, like a bank reconciliation).

You may use this test for classroom practice or for an invitational meet your school is hosting. Please order in ample time as all materials are shipped by regular postal service.

Concept Builder--Plant Assets

The Concept Builder--Plant Assets packet begins with a bulleted listing of key points outlining the theory within the concept area (plant assets, depreciation, property tax, and disposal). The next section shows how to do any math computations that are specific to the concept area (straight-line and declining-balance depreciation methods). Finally, typical recurring problem formats from prior year contest materials are demonstrated. Throughout the demonstrations are suggestions for problem-solving strategies, short-cuts to try, and pitfalls to avoid. Problems are included for students to solve and solutions are provided.

Regional Study Packet

A packet of 3 regional tests written by LaVerne Funderburk is available through Hexco. Each test focuses heavily on regional level concepts providing a platform for classroom use in preparation for the regional contest. This product can only be purchased through Hexco.

Detailed Accounting Concepts List

The Detailed Accounting Concepts List is a resource tool for contest preparation. It is intended to be an exhaustive listing of elementary accounting principles, vocabulary, theory, procedures, practices, etc. that could possibly be included on a contest exam. A sample page is available for viewing.

Products Under Construction

So many ideas...not enough time! Envisioned are individual packets called Concept Builders. These will focus on regional and state level concepts. Each packet can be used to teach or reinforce the vocabulary, journal entries, and procedures associated with that concept. Recurring contest exam formats will be demonstrated along with suggested approaches and solving shortcuts.

The Concept Builders in the works are:

Plant Assets (Ready, See Order Form)
Inventory Costing
Uncollectible Accounts
Financial Statement Analysis (This one is near completion.)
Promissory Notes
Accruals and Deferrals
Accounting for Corporations
Accounting for Partnerships
