Browse Hierarchy ACFI5006: Accounting Information Systems

The module provides students with practical experience of using accounting information systems in a variety of business contexts, equips them with techniques for describing them accurately and introduces the analysis of accounting systems from different perspectives. It builds on the introduction to using an accounting package in Introduction to Accounting, and provides more opportunity to practice this. There will also be an introduction to enterprise software. Students will learn how to describe the significant features of accounting systems and evaluate them from the perspective of fitness for purpose, suitability of controls and value to the user. Students who undertake this module will recognise further links with issues dealt with in Audit Practice.
