The pre/post-test consisted of multiple-choice questions covering various financial management topics, including budgeting, bookkeeping, and cash management.

This indicates that the budget should be used as a guiding tool for financial decision-making. The book of bank is another essential financial instrument that helps organizations control their finances. The correct answer to the question "What should be recorded in the book of bank?" is option b) "All movements of entry and exit of money from the bank and the cash box." This highlights the importance of recording all financial transactions in the book of bank. The book of cash is a financial instrument that helps organizations manage their cash flow. The correct answer to the question "What should be done with the cash in the book of cash?" is option d) "The cash in the book of cash should be checked by the cashier."
