PURPOSE OF THE COURSE:
This course offers bookkeeping majors the opportunity to work with a comprehensive generic computerized software application and to integrate it with spreadsheet and word processing applications. This course covers service and merchandising businesses formed as sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. Chapters cover the accounting cycle, bank reconciliation, budgeting, purchase orders, sales orders, inventory, fixed assets, payroll, financial statement analysis, and departmentalized accounting. Students completing this course should have the transferable skills to learn most computerized accounting applications they encounter in the workplace.
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION:
This Web-based class involves hands-on, self-paced learning, where the instructor will be available to assist and answer questions via e-mail as they arise. Students will learn to operate the software by entering realistic accounting transactions for a variety of business applications and by generating financial statements, spreadsheets, and other management information reports. The goal of the instructor is to have this course be paperless, with all assignments being emailed to the instructor for electronic grading. The graded assignments will then be returned to the student via email in .pdf format so that all notations can be seen.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Business owners, managers, accountants, bookkeepers, and accounting clerks need to know how to use modern MIS computerized accounting systems in order to perform accounting tasks efficiently. The objective of this course is to teach the student about computerized accounting, accounting spreadsheet applications, and word processing applications using a hands-on approach.
METHOD OF EVALUATION:
Your final grade will be based on work ethic, printed spreadsheet and word processing reports from the hands-on exercises, student exercises, audit questions, and three comprehensive problems. The percentages that make up your final grade are as follows:
Work Ethic
Spreadsheet and Word Processing Reports
Student Exercises (“S” Questions)

222/422 CHAPTER ASSIGNMENTS/INSTRUCTIONS
1. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL INFORMATION IN THIS SYLLABUS.
2. Work through each chapter in the book in order from Chapter 1-Appendix A.
.
3. My Website for Integrated Accounting has a link to Word documents for each chapter. Each Word document has all three sections of questions that you need to complete for that chapter. You will complete these and e-mail them to me. I’m keeping this class as paperless as possible. I will correct them electronically and return them to you in .pdf format.
4. Access the Chapter Problem files, the word processing, and spreadsheet templates through this path:
C:\Program Files(x86)\Cengage\IntegratedAccounting 8 th Ed\(designated file)
5. For each chapter:
 Read through the chapter information.
 Work through the Sample Problem, and answer the questions in the Word file I provide on my Website.
 Work through Problem A, verify your answers with the “student solution checker” button on the toolbar and then answer the “A” audit questions as you display the reports.
 Work through Problem B, verify your adjusted (when applicable) trial balance with the one on my
Website, and then answer the “B” audit questions as you display the reports.
 There is no student solutions checker button for 8-A and 11-A, so on my Website , I have provided adjusted (if applicable) trial balances for you to use to compare your work before answering the 8-A and
11-A questions.
6. You are require d to do the “optional” spreadsheet and word processing activities. These activities should be of the quality you would turn in to your employer. I will require you to re-edit any unsatisfactory work. Make them pretty, folks! Be sure to save them as Word or Excel files, depending on which software you are using. I will be checking your formulas on the Excel work.

7. I will provide you with .pdf files of the Word and Excel projects for you to compare to your work.
8. SKIP ALL Internet activities.
9. Chapter 9 is extra credit, but not required.
10. SKIP 8-B
11. IN SUMMARY —for each chapter, you will e-mail me the completed Word file with the questions for all three sections of the chapter, your “A” word processing file, your “B” word processing file, and the spreadsheet pro jects for both “A” and “B.” FIVE files in total for most chapters. Please do not send me your “S” files.
12. There are no spreadsheet or word processing activities in Chapter 1 and Chapter 11.
13. Remember to “Save” often! Keeping a backup file elsewhere would be a good idea, too.
Comprehensive Review Problems 1-3
 These review problems will be the tests for this course. There are no “student solutions checkers” or trial balances available for them, so work through these problems carefully .
 Complete the Audit Questions (located on the Website with the chapter questions), and e-mail this to me, just as you do the chapter work. Also send me your accounting file.
I will correct the questions electronically and return them to you in .pdf format.
 After I return your Comprehensive Review questions to you, you may earn half of any lost points by finding and correcting the errors indicated and resending me your corrected accounting file.
422 STUDENTS
Students taking this course at the 422 level will be required to complete one other assignment. After completing all 11 chapters and Appendix A, these students will set up and complete a practice set for a merchandising business on the
Integrated Accounting software used in this course. If the student is taking Basic Accounting 2 concurrently with this class, that practice set will be used. All other students will be provided with a practice set to complete.
IMPORTANT NOTES AND ERRATA:
 There are some differences in this text from your training in Basic Accounting 1 & 2. o All charge purchases are on the Purchases Journal in Appendix A. o All insurance purchases are for prepaid insurance.
 The perpetual inventory method is used in this book. Entries will be a little different than in Basic 2.
Just use the examples given, and you should be able to figure out how to do this. I will help you with it if necessary

In 2008, the federal government required all post-secondary institutions offering federal financial aid programs to provide key data to both prospective and current students. To comply with this requirement, Lewis-Clark State
College has developed a consumer information page, which may be accessed at http://www.lcsc.edu/studentconsumer-information/
