Accounting and Information Systems - ACCG251
This unit introduces students to the area of accounting information systems. The topics covered in this unit include the key discipline based areas of the role of accounting and accounting information systems, internal controls, business processes, ethics, systems development and information system audit. The material covered in this unit is presented through an accounting lens, thus allowing the full benefits of information systems within a practical and relevant context to be drawn out and evidenced to students. This unit is more than 'how to use computers'. Emphasis is placed on students appreciating the critical role that information systems play in supporting the accounting function, and the need for a critical nexus between the accounting and information systems functions. This unit is a key part of the accounting degree. It seeks to develop graduate capabilities centred upon effective communication and higher order analysis and critical thinking using a range of case based materials. The unit assumes a strong understanding of the manual accounting process.
