Example intro accounting flashcards

What is the accounting equation?Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity, which must stay in balance after every transaction.

What is the normal balance of Accounts Receivable?Debit, because it is an asset account and assets increase with debits.

Under the accrual basis, when is revenue recorded?When it is earned, even if the cash arrives later, because revenue follows the earning activity.

How is a prepaid expense, such as a year of insurance paid in advance, recorded at purchase?As an asset, because the benefit has not been used yet; it moves to expense as the coverage is used.

What is the normal balance of Accumulated Depreciation?Credit, because it is a contra-asset that reduces the asset's carrying value.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Questions come from what you actually studied, not a generic bank.

Explanations on every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question includes an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you the rule behind the right one.

Export when you need it

Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course platforms.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a chapter PDF, lecture slides or typed notes on accounting topics such as the accounting equation, journal entries or adjusting entries.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate. Your first three generations each month are free and no credit card is needed.

Quiz yourself and review

Answer the questions, read the explanations for anything you missed, and repeat the weak topics until the debit and credit rules feel automatic.

DeckOwl does not have access to Gimkit accounts or their games, so login and billing questions for Gimkit belong with Gimkit support. For studying accounting, the useful part is a quiz written from your own course content, which you can repeat as often as you need.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for an intro accounting chapter?

Aim for one card per term or rule, such as each account type, normal balance or journal entry format. That usually means a few dozen cards per chapter, and you can add more where you keep missing questions.

What is the best way to study journal entries?

Write the entry for a practice scenario before checking the answer, then say which accounts are debited and which are credited and why. Repeating this with varied scenarios builds the habit faster than memorizing examples.

Can DeckOwl get me into my Gimkit account?

No. DeckOwl is a separate product and cannot access Gimkit accounts, so contact Gimkit support for login or account problems. DeckOwl can create accounting quizzes from your own notes in the meantime.

Do I have to pay to export my quiz?

Yes, exports are paid features. Plus at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro at $14.99 per month adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
