Product Description

Quite possibly the easiest-to-understand product on the market, Klooster and Allen's Integrated Accounting For Windows teaches 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 users hit the ground running when they get that first real job. Plus, because the software is introduced gradually throughout the book, readers won't become overwhelmed with the program. The result? Users will be able to concentrate more on the accounting principles being taught.

Customer Reviews

Integrated Accounting for Windows
This book assumes you have taken a basic course in accounting, or have basic accounting background. (I find that you can get by without the accounting background, but it will take longer to complete the course). I find the text very well laid out, almost self explanatory. This is the text that most Junior Colleges are using at this time. The company is very quick at resolving any questions/problems you may encounter. I reccomend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about computerized accounting.

Integrated Accounting 3e by Klooster & Allen
An excellent textbook for learing the basics of computerized accounting. Very well presented, starting with an overview of chart of account layout, AR/AP, Payroll, Partnerships & Corporations. The last chapter on setting up a complete accountig system is really nice. I am using for self study & find the book easy to follow. This is set up with college level 2 reading level assumed. This is the text currently being used by a local college for their course. Very well worth the full price of the product.

Integrated Accounting for Windows, 3e ineffective and poor
I take a class for computerized accounting that uses this book. It comes with free accounting software same title as the book. The software was poorly written, poorly designed visually, and ineffective at teaching modern computerized accounting.

If your computerized accounting uses this book I would recommend dropping the class and searching for one that uses either Quicken or Peachtree. "Integrated Accounting for Windows, 3e" should have never been written in the first place if they were going to make the software so poorly.

I DO -=NOT=- RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR LEARNING WINDOWS BASED ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE.
