Microsoft Office Accounting Professional is the newest entry to accounting
software. This text uses a cycle based approach for learning Office Accounting
features. Each chapter explains Why a task is performed, How to perform that
task, and What financial accounts were affected by a task. The author calls this
the WHoW of accounting software.
The Why overview at the beginning of a chapter explains the tasks encountered
in the accounting cycle, the events triggering activities in the cycle, the data
collected prior to recording a transaction, and the procedures used when
transactions were recorded in a manual accounting system. Manual accounting
procedures (MAPS) are illustrated by depicting subsidiary journals posted to
related ledgers with an audit trail.
The How portion depicts step-by-step illustrations on recording activities
depicted in the MAPS topic in Microsoft Office Accounting Professional 2007.
Depending on the difficulty of a task, students may also be asked to repeat the
task using different data presented in a “You Try” exercise. These exercises are
without step-by-step guidance but students can check their performance by
referencing solutions in Appendix E.
After recording data, students enter the What phase of a task where they are
taken Behind the Keys of the software to locate posted data. This phase also
illustrates the software’s audit trail, comparing it to the audit trail illustrated in the
MAPS topic. Students are also shown the steps for correcting erroneously
posted transactions.
