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.

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.

In the chapter 5 problem, it says to enter some adjusting journal entries that are supposed to be listed. They are not there. It looks like the wrong image was placed in the spot where the entries are supposed to be. As a result, my work will not check against the solution successfully and I will likely get a poor grade for this assignment.

Btw, the software for this book is provided by Cengage (oh, did I mention the software does not come with the Kindle version?). I've had terrible experience with Cengage for a different book. I hate them.

This book is a precusor to Quickbooks. If you follow the instructions in the book and use the automated checker, there is no reason you can't get 100%!

At the price of this accounting software, I recommend this software than any other expensive accouting program. Ease of use and a lots of modules.

This was an excellent purchase, I received the book and it was brand new with the CD and I didn't have to pay an arm and leg for it. Thanks!!!!

The price was great and the merchandise was exactly what it should have been. It did take quite a while to reach me though an the company did not respond to emails.

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.

This software was provided free with my Payroll Accounting textbook. The textbook itself is very well written, and is easy enough to follow. The software, however, is another story.

I am required to use this software to complete a "Payroll Problem" final project for my class. This software is so poorly put together, with help files that are less than helpful. The book instructs us to follow steps to enter data in the format desired. This is quite the challenge. For example, we're told to code Liability Payments to their respective vendors; this would normally be a reasonable request, however it was nearly impossible to even find how to do this, and when I finally did, it didn't work. I followed the instructions provided in the "help" files, and got no results. As I sit here, I still have no Cash Payments Journal, nor have I ever seen a Vendor List. When working with the "W-2 Statements" it makes no allowance for tax deferred deductions, so total wage amounts are incorrect, making the "W-2 Form" feature completly useless.

I work with Quickbooks on a daily basis (which I also have an issue or two with), and there are virtually no similarities between this program and REAL accounting software. I can see why this was given away for free, and I can only hope no one actually tries to use this to keep books for a business.
