“If
we look at the way accounting is learned,
most is through oral [teaching]. Now in
the computer era … the use of computers
in accounting education is important since
computers are widely used for its speed
and efficiency. Given that computer has
become an every day-used tool at the work
place, it will be very beneficial if such
practices can be initiated from schools.
Use of computers in universities [accounting
education], is useful for learning experience
and development of expertise for the work
place…
Learning
through practical exercises and training
[using simulation in GenerReS and ASSET
series] is far superior and effective
than learning through the traditional
method we used to adopt before….
Students get to experience right away.”

“This
computer based packaged, together with its
manual meant for the purpose of teaching
and learning accounting in both Bahasa Melayu
and English is the first of its kind in
Malaysia…
In today’s business environment, timely
and accurate information is crucial in managing
a business efficiently and effectively.
Almost all business use computers to produce
accounting information. Hence it is vital
that accounting students be exposed to a
computerized accounting system regardless
of whether they are in schools or studying
at institutions of higher learning.”

“This
is a new [software] program … We feel
honoured that the Accounting and Finance
Department UPM is the first institution
of higher learning to use this [GenerReS]
program. We could see that students were
more eager to learn and try from previously
when we used the manual system only.” |

“The
reason why I use this [GenerReS] courseware
is because the teaching and learning of
accounting is aligned to accounting practice.
Professional accounting bodies like IFAC
have urged the use of computer be integrated
into school….
Therefore
I feel that in using [the software] …,
the accounting curriculum of the faculty
has become more relevant, and, that is
important to the accounting profession.”

“I
have attended training session [on simulation
package] … In my opinion as a teacher
directly involved in the teaching of Principles
of Accounting subject at the SPM level,
the time has come for the students to be
exposed [to the simulation] package.” |

“The
GenerReS software has tremendously helped
make the preparation of financial statements
easy for my friends and I … With GenerReS,
we can use ourselves, without lecturer or
instructor because all the instructions
and guide to using it are found within the
package. I recommend this package be used
at schools or matriculation level so that
students there will be more prepared in
the preparation of financial statements
… when they proceed to universities,
it will be easier.” |
