Learning QuickBooks Pro 2007 uses a cycle based approach for learning
QuickBooks 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 QuickBooks Pro 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.
