Microsoft Office Accounting 2007 Teaching/Learning Opportunities

(Accounting)

Description/Objectives:
The workshop will familiarize you with Microsoft Office Accounting 2007 (MOA) and its many features and tools. You will explore the sample product-based company, Northwind Traders, and the sample service company, Fabrikam, Inc., to learn about the customer, vendor, inventory, payroll, and banking features of MOA. You will use the features found in MOA that are not included in other out-of-the-box accounting software such as the accountant's view, fixed asset accounting, internal controls, use of Pivot tables, integration with Access, and MOA's various preset roles and permissions for user groups. The workshop will also familiarize you with how MOA has made many of the necessary tasks and analyses in running a business easier to do because it fully integrates with other Office programs. You will see that some of the features of Excel (graphing) or Word (mail merge) are integrated into Microsoft Office Accounting. You will also become familiar with MOA's pre-built Excel Pivot Tables and Access Reports and how they are used to analyze information. You will also create, modify, and secure reports in Excel, Word, and Microsoft Office Accounting 2007. Along with its powerful integration tools, this workshop also shows you how to create new companies. MOA's familiar user interface enhances its ease of use.

Special Note: Participants are requested to bring a laptop computer to the workshop.
