Part II of Core I

I am currently an accounting major and will hopefully become a CPA once I have graduated and pass the CPA examination. In this field of work, Microsoft Excel is one of the most important computer programs. The software allows all kinds of manipulation of numbers and calculations to be performed for creating financial statements. While I do know how to use some basic functions, I will need to brush up on all the functions and learn how to use Excel more efficiently. Also, the rest of the Microsoft Office suite will be necessary for preparing forms, presentations, and databases of information for clients.

Other proprietary tax software will need to be used and I will need to learn how to work with the programs and have the information transferrable between the software I will use and the software my clients will use to input their business transactions. A lot of training will be required to learn all of these functions. However, UCF has required all business majors to take a course teaching the Office suite, so I should be fairly well versed with the software when I have completed the course.
