3 Credits
ARR

This course has been designed to provide a basic knowledge of how accounting information systems function in today’s business environment. Transaction flow charting and internal controls of the revenue, expenditure and conversion cycles are covered in detail. Attention is also focused on basic computer terminology, EDP controls, and relational databases. Considering that companies are unable to separate accounting information systems from technology another equally important aspect of this class is to assist students in developing into an efficient, and reasonably sophisticated, user of computer technology. We do this through extensive use of the Internet, Excel, and an integrated accounting software package.
