Microsoft Office Accounting 2007
Teaching/Learning Opportunities

(Accounting – Basic)

Description/Objectives:
This workshop familiarizes participants with Microsoft Office Accounting Professional 2007 and its many features and tools. You 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 familiarizes 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 see that some of the features of Excel (graphing) or Word (mail merge) are integrated into Microsoft Office Accounting. You also become familiar with MOA’s pre-built Excel Pivot Tables and Access Reports and how they are used to analyze information. You 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.
