...Fall 2010 COURSE STRUCTURE In the modern world, the majority of accounting entries occur electronically. Accountants and auditors store information in databases, managed by enterprise systems that have a set of controls to ensure that transactions and record keeping happen as expected. E-business Web sites handle transactions automatically, with the accounting data going directly into the necessary databases. The concept of a paper trail has become a bit of a misnomer; today, because of accounting information systems, there is often no paper involved at all; however, it is important to establish the flow the data in different areas of the organization, or audit trail, so as to properly exercise internal controls. AISs help in this purpose. At the outset of this course, you will learn the basics of accounting information systems and business processes. Next, you will learn about database management systems, and the design of various database models. Finally, you will learn about how to use internal controls effectively for risk management, as well as the requirements for business reporting. After completing this course, you should not only have a clear idea of how accounting information systems work, but you should also be prepared to design and configure them to meet the record-keeping and risk management requirements of the organization. In addition, you will be prepared to design them to meet legal obligations—such as those defined in the United States’ Sarbanes-Oxley...

...BCO1102 Information Systems for Business 2014 Semester 1 Prepared by Paul Darbyshire Prepared by Paul Darbyshire Welcome Welcome to BCO1102 Information Systems for Business for Semester 1, 2014. For the vast majority of you it will be a compulsory unit of study as it is part of the Business Core in all undergraduate Bachelor of Business degrees. The major focus of this unit is on how computer- based information systems can support decision making in organizations and businesses.

One of the most important elements of an information system is people, so all of us need to know what role we can play and what role information and communication technologies (ICT) can play in supporting decisions. This unit will look at the theoretical side of information systems as well as personal productivity tools such as spread sheets and databases. In addition we will look at global trends in information systems and in particular the emerging use of Cloud Computing and Social Networking, which is sometimes called Web 2.0. The unit of study requires the textbook Introduction to Information Systems by Rainer, Prince and Cegielski 5th Edition.

... Module 1 –Case Study 1 Chapter 3, Case 1: Advance America Implements Grid Computing Critical Thinking Questions 1. Why is the new grid computing system at Advance America much easier to install, manage, and maintain than its old system? In the older system of Advance America each of the centers had their own software and hardware installed in their premises, and every night all the centers around the country you to send their data to the main hub. Because of the growing numbers of the data and the centers around the country there was not enough time for all the data to be transferred to the main system plus the maintenance cost of the older system was much higher. In the new system Advance America switched to grid computing. “Grid computing is the collection of computer resources from multiple locations to reach a common goal.”{1} They installed a Client machine in every center which connects to the Web from a fault-tolerant server running Oracle database software. In this process may computers are working together to reduce the workload over the server which in turn helps in identifying and solving the problems much quicker even in real-time. {1} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_computing 2. How might Advance America expand its system as the company outgrows it?
