Welcome Students and Instructors!

Getting Started With Peachtree Complete Accounting was written to provide the accounting student with an overview of how the manual concepts taught in the introductory accounting classes can be applied within a computerized accounting environment. While the book is written using instructions for Peachtree Complete Accounting 2003, the concepts learned can be applied to learning many of the other computerized accounting programs available to businesses.

The book also contains a quick, refresher course in Windows but does not attempt to teach those skills in a comprehensive manner. It is presumed that the user has at a minimum, the basic accounting skills taught in the first accounting course. The activities will require the use of the company data files available on the instructor CD-ROM as well as on the Educational version of Peachtree Complete Accounting 2003 which is available from Prentice Hall. This option allows the student to take home a full, working copy of the program as well as the data files.

The book contains 9 chapters of computer workshops, 5 of which contain mini-practice sets to allow the student to practice the concepts being taught in that chapter as well as the chapters prior to the practice set. Downloadable Excel Solutions to the Peachtree Complete 2003 problems can be found on your Prentice Hall textbook web site in the Faculty Resources area or by going to www.prenhall.com/gettingstarted. You will need the access codes provided by your Prentice Hall Sales Representative.
