ACCOUNTING 25 Automated Accounting
RECOMMENDED
PREPARATIONS: Accounting 22/42 or
Accounting 1 with CSIT 101 or CSIT 103.
COURSE
OBJECTIVE & TOPICS: The course is designed
for hands-on experience with the microcomputer in the accounting environment.
Basic emphasis will be computerized accounting with emphasis to maintenance of
general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll records.
Also, the preparation of worksheets, financial statements, payroll registers,
and other accounting records will be discussed.
MATERIALS
REQUIRED:
Text: Computerized Accounting with CA-Simply Accounting for Windows,,
Sylvia Hearing, Prentice Hall, 1996.
.
ATTENDANCE:
The policies on absences and tardiness are as
follows:
Whenever absences (in hours) exceed the number
of hours class meets per week, the instructor shall exclude the student from
the class. The instructor may make exceptions for absence due to illness and/or
emergency, provided such reason for the absence is made known to instructor on
a timely basis. However, it is the responsibility of the student to inquire
from classmates or from the instructor what he/she missed during the absence and
study the missed lesson. Absence will not excuse students from matters
discussed including missed tests.
Attendance will be taken at the start of each
class. Late arrivals should notify the instructor at the end of the class.
Failure on the part of the students to do so will result in an absence for that
class period. Three cases of tardiness may be considered equivalent to one
absence.
If for some justifiable reason, a student has to
leave the class before the end of the period, he/she should let the instructor
know of such intent before the start of the period. Failure to do so will
result in an absence.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Assignments consist of all Transmittal Forms for
the Exercises at the end of each chapter. After completion of the work on each
chapter, students will also submit a copy of end-of-chapter exercises on a
floppy disk. Please do not copy the exercise or the disk from other students.
Such actions constitute cheating in the class, are easily detectable, and will
result in failing grade for both parties for the course. All students are
expected to come to class prepared and be ready to participate in class
discussions. Everybody is encouraged to ask questions relevant to the topic
under discussions.
TESTS:
Three tests will be given during the semester.
Further, the final examination required of all the students will count as third
test. If a student were to miss a test, a comprehensive exam covering all
semesters work will be given during the last week of the classes.
TEST
DATES:
Sep. 14, Oct. 14, and Nov. 16 are the dates for
first, second and third test respectively. Final examination will be held on
the scheduled date for the semester. These are tentative dates subject to
change by notice in the class.
CLASS
PARTICIPATION:
Cooperation and participation in class
discussions of material presented are expected of all the students. Students
are encouraged to ask relevant questions. However, questions regarding matters
discussed while a student was absent will not be entertained in the class.
Students should utilize the instructors consultation hour for these.
