BSA 4-A

In today’s world, where technology is continuously civilizing. We need to cope up.

Accounting Information System as our course subject in our final year, made me realized that

our work as an accountant can be simplified with the use of software like Microsoft Excel and

Peachtree or what we call now Sage 50. This course subject also helps me to refresh what I

have learned in our IT subjects and to apply also what I have learned starting from the basic

accounting up to now. Before, I thought that Microsoft Excel is just a software where I can type

information and made tables. But now, I find it more useful for me because it serves as a

calculator and operated by different formulas.

Microsoft Excel and Sage 50 (Peachtree) made data entry processes simple and fast.

Sage 50 (Peachtree) is efficient to use because it will lessen the errors that we, as the

accountants, can make when recording transactions and preparing financial statements

manually. The first time I used Sage 50 (Peachtree), I find it very challenging because of the

unfamiliarity of the commands in this software. But in our perseverance in researching and

exploring the software’s function as we made a weekly presentation in our class, we can

operate it. And Sage 50 really helps us a lot starting from the journalizing transactions up to

generating the financial statements. So for me, it is better if I will continuously study and explore

Sage 50, so that I can be more familiar with it because knowing how to use an accounting

software will be a benefit in our work field.
