III. Course Description:

This course offers a focused look at accounting information systems as part of

enterprise resource planning systems. It includes consideration of issues such as
Course transaction processing and transaction processing cycles, the use and effects of
Description: computers and other relevant technology on accounting, database & file systems, and
internal controls. Thus the course aims to help students learn accounting systems
concepts and applications.

1. Explores, in detail, several typical AIS application subsystems, such as revenue,

Course payment, payroll, and production cycles.
Objectives: 2. The role of accounting information, business processes, system flowcharts and
documentation, transaction cycles, business environment and the control of risk.
-1-
 3. Develop skills that will enable graduates to critically analyze and evaluate the
existing AIS and propose control procedures that are appropriate and sensible.

IV. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):

By the end of this course it is expected that the student will be able to:
1. Understanding of how information systems, particularly accounting information
systems, can assist in attaining organizational objectives, and how they can
improve planning and control at all levels of the organization;
2. Understanding the technical nature of (and interrelations between) physical
resource flows, source documentation, financial flows, internal controls,
accounting information procedures, and management control systems for both
manual and computerized accounting information systems;
3. Understand the business processes and accounting cycles: how accounting
Learning transactions are initiated, processed and recorded and the operational and
Outcomes: information functions of several major AIS subsystems, how these subsystems
interface with one another, and the principle inputs, processes, files and outputs
associated with these subsystems;
4. Document and/or interpret a system using flow charts and assess the differences
between computerized processing systems and manual systems;
5. Understand internal controls (both computerized and manual) and its associated
risks and an ability to critically evaluate and design the structure of internal
control elements with business processes and accounting cycles; and
6. Apply accounting principles and theoretical skills to case-based scenarios.
