Accounting students must know how to develop, audit, and use accounting systems so the information contained within them can then be used by managers and decision makers. This textbook teaches students how to perform this role using Microsoft Access 2002, a component of the Microsoft Office XP Professional Suite. Once students are comfortable with the Windows operating system, they receive a solid introduction to database principles and theory, and valuable hands-on experience in constructing accounting systems.
