What should I do if I’ve never taken an accounting class?

Title is pretty self explanatory. I’m applying for 2021 junior internships in PE and IB . Can anyone whose been in a similar situation recommend some resources so I can handle technicals come interview season.

I found financial accounting as a college class very helpful, so if you could find a basic online course in financial accounting and you have the time, that might be worth looking into, if not the other suggestions work ^

 

Highly recommend this if you have free time right now. 80% of the accounting technicals aren't that hard to memorize but you will be better off if you understand the statements conceptually
