DQ1 Computerized Accounting Systems
Computerized accounting systems are widely used by even the smallest companies. These systems simplify the record-keeping process in that transactions are recorded in electronic forms. Forms used to bill customers for services provided are often completed using drop-down menus that list services that are normally provided to customers. An auto-complete entry feature may also be used to fill in customer names. For example, type “ca” to display customers with names beginning with “Ca” (Caban, Cahill, Carey, and Caswell). And, to simplify data entry, entries are automatically posted to the ledger accounts when the electronic form is completed.
One popular accounting software package used by small- to medium-sized businesses is QuickBooks’. Some examples of using QuickBooks to record accounting transactions are illustrated and discussed in Chapter 5.
