About this course:
This is a self paced interactive course that has been designed to assist you in covering and practicing the accounting principles covered in Accounting 1A and 1B. It may also be used as a refresher for students who have had accounting and wish to review. The courseware is designed in such a way that no prior computer experience is required. It is also considered to be a bridge course for accounting majors who need to be grounded in the more procedural aspects of accounting. Students who take this course along with the 1A find it to be a very effective tutorial.

1. Register for the course and purchase the Interactive Financial Accounting , Version 3.0 package at the bookstore. You will need your registration number in order to initialize your program.
