This is the first text of its kind to provide a self-paced environment where students use a commercially-available
software product to analyze, interpret, and investigate accounting information to make business decisions. With
comprehensive and complete computerized accounting coverage, this text is ideal for your students.
Unlike other texts available in this genre, this book realizes that computerized accounting can be much more than
the creation of financial reports. The textbook takes a user-perspective by illustrating how accounting information
is both used and created.
Quickbooks is an extremely user-friendly commercial software. The text's pedagogy demonstrates the software's features
in full to your students, resulting in full comprehension of the capabilities of the program.
The text offers extreme flexibility in teaching. Data disks (enclosed with each text) and a correlation table make
QuickBooks ideal for use with any accounting text on the market.
A continuing, realistic case is incorporated throughout the chapters. This methodology helps students apply QuickBooks
features and accounting concepts to real-world scenarios, while using a proven step-by-step learning process which
keeps them on track.
The unique structure of the book allows you to virtually eliminate traditional debits and credits, or incorporate
them where you would like. Typically, debits and credits are covered in all the end-of-period adjustments, but
more d/c coverage can be added through the use of the Appendix.
