A comprehensive case problem to help students of auditing,
systems, or financial accounting courses understand the role and
importance of basic business documents, records and information
flows in the accounting process.
Transaction sets with different levels of difficulty are available
in the Instructor's Guide. Some transaction sets are easier and
likely to be used in less advanced classes or where the professor
is concerned mostly with students learning the accounting process.
Other sets are more complex for use by professors who prefer a
greater challenge for their students as they learn the accounting
process.

"There is no other tool out there that allows
accounting students to work through the entire accounting cycle, from transaction analysis
through closing entries. It does an excellent job of helping students understand this process."

"I have used the SUA for over 15 years
in my accounting information systems course. I have found it provides an essential first step in that course as it ensures students can visualize the entire accounting process and understand the reasons for performing the steps in an effective and efficient system. As they move forward in the course,
the SUA truly helps them comprehend the internal control tenets we introduce. The knowledge stays with them as they move into our auditing class."
—Claire Kamm Latham, PhD, CPA

"I absolutely love the SUA, and have used it for over 10 years. It bridges theory and
practice by giving students hands-on experience. As a result, they have a better
understanding of accounting systems, which helps them as they advance through
the accounting curriculum."

"I have used Computerized Accounting using Peachtree Complete Accounting in my Capstone Course with great success. The students gain valuable insight into the proper use of computerized accounting software with
the straightforward approach of this textbook. The integration of real world examples and problems increases the usefulness of this text in my classroom. The text is further enhanced when used in combination with Systems Understanding Aid to show the transition from a manual accounting system to a
computerized accounting system."

"Jobs! Using Peachtree is all about my students finding good internships and jobs upon graduation. Accounting courses teach students about capturing, managing, and reporting economic
activity and safeguarding a company's assets (internal controls). Peachtree takes this knowledge and provides students with hands-on experience, linking theory to practice. Employers seek this attribute. Experience with Peachtree helps the maturing accounting professional contribute immediately to the needs of a company. As a result, my students have more job opportunities."

The unique and most useful feature of this book, unlike most textbooks using a modular
approach, is that the exercises are based on the major accounting cycles, reinforcing
what the students learned in their accounting courses. In addition, the students find the
abundance of exercises that are available to be useful. Furthermore, technical assistance
