The 3rd book in a new series of texts designed for Computerized Accounting courses that 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
