This course highlights current issues in information systems with an emphasis on practical application. Also, other issues are covered such as: design and operation of accounting systems; relevance of data processing and statistical methods to the system of financial information and control. This course creates a framework for accounting information systems by combining knowledge about business as it relates to information systems, information technology, and accounting. Students will examine the REA (Resources, Events, and Agents) enterprise ontology as it relates to databases which can be used to store and retrieve information for decision-making within an organization. Students learn that in competitive organizations of today, and tomorrow, accountants cannot simply prepare and report information; they must take a more active role in understanding and creating systems and processes that impact the organization's bottom line. Students will apply information by using a computer in the lab.
