For columns making sure that the Tags are in their logical reading order is the key to making them accessible.
For tables the keys to making sure they are accessible are:

There is a <Table> Tag under which are the <TR> or Table Row Tags, under which are either <TH> or Table Header Tags or <TD> or Table Data Tags.
That each cell is identified individually in the data area of the table so that one piece of data is in one cell as you would have in other documents.
You can use the scope attribute for cells that have been merged. Typically these are TH or Table Header cells.
