shareholders' equity to communicate the business entity's
results of operations and financial position to users of
financial information who are external to the company.

information for purposes of making decisions about the
organization. Students will be exposed to International Financial

Special Instructions
for Assignments |
|
Optional
General Ledger Computer Problems |
|
 |
|
 | As an option, a limited
number of General Ledger software problems can be substituted for
the assigned textbook problems, or you might want to
just try the software for the opportunity to apply
classroom subjects to simulated business
environments. |
(1) The
General Ledger software is provided for your use, but can
only be run on a PC using a Microsoft Windows operating system. A
software orientation
will be provided.
(2)
We will continue to use the General Ledger software from a
previous
textbook edition. Therefore, we will use a different set of similar
problems
for your optional computer assignments. I will provide you a
handout for each of those problems (these
assigned problems are not
in the
current textbook).
(3)
Any computer
problems, opted for completion, will be turned in by an e-mail. The
grade for the completed assignment will be posted to the Canvas
System.
(4) You will keep all printed
materials for each problem.
