Synopses & Reviews
Quite possibly the easiest-to-understand product on the market, Klooster and Allen's INTEGRATED ACCOUNTING FOR WINDOWS teaches students all the aspects of computerized accounting and the operating procedures for all Windows-based programs at the same time. The software was specifically designed to be very similar to the commercial software packages used in business, which will help students hit the ground running when they get that first real job. With its updated design and improved directions, students won't become overwhelmed with the program. Coupling these refinements for the fifth edition with the gradual introduction of the software that is the hallmark of INTEGRATED ACCOUNTING, students will be able to concentrate more on the accounting principles being taught, while the software becomes second nature.
