• I. What is Accounting?
• Something to do with money? Working with math
  and numbers? Thats what most students say when I
  ask them that question. Its my job this semester
  to provide you with a better answer!
• Basically accounting has to do with planning,
  recording, analyzing and interpreting financial
  information. In this class we will spend time
  breaking this down and seeing what it means in
  the real world.
• II. What will be taught in Accounting?
• Career opportunities in and out of business
  related majors
• Accounting procedures for a small business. We
  will go through the process of setting up a new
  business and keeping all of the records for that
  business.
• Accounting procedures for a business organized as
  a partnership.
• Business simulation! This is an amazing
  culminating activity. We will spend the last
  three weeks of the semester doing all of the
  accounting work for a business organized as a
  partnership. This includes journalizing
  transactions, posting, preparing financial
  statements, issuing checks and performing closing
  entries at the end of the fiscal period.
• III. Computerized Accounting?
• This is a computerized Accounting course.
  However, you have much to learn before you will
  be able to use the Peachtree Accounting Software.
  We will get you onto Peachtree by Chapter 5
  though!
