Business

The 2^nd book in a new series of texts designed for computerized accounting courses which focus on Peachtree, QuickBooks, or Microsoft Office Accounting.

 

From set up to start up, this book switches on student learning by teaching how Computerized Accounting works behind the keys.

 

For students, this is the only book that:

1. Shows them what is going on (in accounting!) behind the keys
2. Helps them through the "practice makes perfect" process

For professors, this is the only book that:

1. Organizes resources by how often a professor teaches the course 

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.

1. Step-By-Step Walkthrough of the software keystrokes, from how to install the software to how to close transactions.
2. 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.
3. Practice Set at the end of every chapter allows for even morehands-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; to provide 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 of practicing 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 QuickBooks Software resources to your students?
