How does your current text approach Computerized Accounting? How do you show students the implications of their data entries in the large scheme of things?

Steps to Learning Software AND the Accounting Behind the Keystrokes in every chapter. Each step gives students an inside look at what really happens in a company’s accounting department, from inception to end product, providing a holistic view of the accounting cycle in an actual business.

Step-By-Step Walkthrough of the software keystrokes, from how to install the software to how to close transactions.
You Try It: After the step-by-step walkthrough, students have the opportunity to apply what they learned and try a similar problem on their own. Answers for “You Try It” are in Appendix D in the back of the book.
Practice Set at the end of every chapter allows for even more hands-on experience, plus two additional comprehensive practice sets:
- Service Based Business—after Chapter 7
- Merchandising Based Business—after Chapter 11

Manual Accounting Procedure Sets (MAPS) show students what is actually happening behind the numbers. Each chapter features a manual accounting procedure that illustrates the transaction recording in a manual accounting system, before recording the same transaction in the software. Tracing the audit trail of a posted entry teaches students why they need to make an entry and how that entry will influence the accounting. With a better understanding of how data entries affect the accounting, students are better equipped to make corrections to existing entries and understand the results that will come from these corrections.

How do you relate the datasets your text provides to real transactions in an actual business environment?

Modified Datasets—These author-prepared, customized datasets are made to replicate a real business, providing students with a much more realistic view of accounting in a software environment. Instructors are able to modify transactions as they choose for utmost teaching flexibility.

Are your students hesitant to practice on a dataset for fear of making a mistake that will affect the final grade on an assignment?

Two Versions of Datasets: 1 for homework and 1 for practice. Students are provided with two sets of the same dataset: one to be used for assignments, and the other to be used for practice. Having two identical versions allows students to practice and explore the software without worrying about making mistakes that will affect a grade, and allows for easier grading on the instructor’s part because there is no interference with data integrity or graded materials.

How much time do you spend compiling a complete set of tools to teach your course the way you’d like to?

Guide on the Side Instructor’s Manual—The comprehensive Instructor’s Manual offers a complete set of tools needed for the course, organized by the number of times an instructor has taught it. The different resources vary according to an instructor’s comfort level with the software and computerized accounting classroom.

Would you like to provide datasets and the Peachtree software resources to your students?

Peachtree Complete 2007 software can be packaged with the text. The student datasets are also included with this software.

OTHER POINTS OF DISTINCTION

Chapter 1 begins by explaining the role of accounting software then illustrates activities such as opening, closing, and backing up company data files, working with Peachtree help files and shortcut keys, and navigating the Peachtree interface.

Chapter 2 shows the reader how to customize Peachtree global posting controls, review the chart of accounts, print, customize, and export reports, email documents, and locate information using lists, drilldown features, and hyperlinks.

In Chapter 3, the reader posts basic and complex journal entries then prints financial statements. This chapter is intended to make the reader comfortable with basic transaction posting and reporting before tackling more complicated tasks involving sales, purchasing, and payroll transactions. After this chapter, the text will branch into two distinct tracts that present accounting activities for a service based business and then for a merchandising business.

In Chapters 4 through 7, a cycle based approach illustrates accounting activities for a service based business that uses job costing. This tract begins by processing sales activities then proceeds to separate chapters illustrating purchasing and payroll activities. The tract concludes by having the reader review postings, record accrual and adjusting entries for the accounting period, print financial statements, and close the period. After completing, the reader will have worked with job costing and will have completed an entire accounting cycle for a single company. The reader is then presented with a comprehensive project covering cycle activities for a different service based business.

In Chapters 8 through 11, the cycle based approach is again presented but this time using a merchandising business. After completing this tract, the reader will have worked with inventory and will have completed an entire accounting cycle for a single company. The reader is then presented with a comprehensive project covering cycle activities for a different merchandising business.

Chapter 12 presents an opportunity for the reader to create a merchandising business from scratch and then to record a month of transactions for the new business.

Appendix A includes detailed instructions for installing Peachtree Complete Accounting 2007. Appendix B includes instructions on correcting posting errors. Appendix C provides data file back up and restore procedures that make data portable between school and home.
