To facilitate learning, this book includes a set of teaching case studies for the General Ledger System developed using Visual FoxPro 6.0, allowing readers to refer to this book and the case study to design the General Ledger System. Additionally, to assist instructors in teaching, this book also provides electronic lecture slides for each chapter. Both of these sections are included on the accompanying CD-ROM of this book. This book is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate applied courses in economic management and financial accounting at universities, adult colleges, and vocational colleges, as well as for reference use by relevant professionals.
