...Effects of Technology on Accounting Information Systems James King University of Phoenix: ACC/340 Accounting Information Systems I Instructor: Ray Dahmer June 27, 2011 Effects of Technology on Accounting Information Systems The information age and the resulting technological advances have made an impact on every functional area of the accounting industry including auditing, taxation, financial, and managerial accounting (Bagranoff, Simkin, & Norman, 2008). Information systems consist of data input and processing devices, applications, personnel, and procedures, all of which produce information that management uses to make crucial business decisions (Bagranoff, Simkin, & Norman, 2008). This paper contains a discussion of modern accounting information systems and the influence of those systems in the changing landscape of the accounting profession. New Technology and Its Effect on Business The introduction of modern information technology into the accounting profession has produced advances in the industry and in the design of accounting information systems. All but gone are the days of spiral bound ledgers and adding machines. Accounting applications running on computer systems with two-gigahertz processors and gigabytes worth of memory perform accounting tasks in modern organizations. The information generated by modern accounting information systems from the data gathered by the input terminals within the system, informs managers about the situation...

...2009 IMPH 8000: Review Assignment on Health Care System & Information Technology The role of IT in the health care system is a widely discussed topic of the 21st century. Various individuals ranging from researchers, physicians, health insurers, and economists have been looking for the perfect solution to the health care system of the 21st century. In the articles “The Bela Schick lecture: the US health care system: diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis” by Ein D and “Shattuck Lecture: health care in the 21st century” by Frist WH; one would be able to witness two opinions regarding the policy of IT in the health care system of The United States. The article written by Ein D states the opinion of a physician, in a private practice, who believes in the market system and is not sure of how the government should intervene in the marketplace. Ein D believes that The United States should invest in forming electronic medical records (EMRs) to help the situation of the health care system. Ein D states that less than 5% of physicians use electronic records as part of patient care due to the high costs of transitioning to electronic records and then maintaining them. Ein D feels that physicians must realize that the electronic medical record system is affordable and can increase their productivity. Electronic records can help connect the many hospitals, private practices, and clinics around the nation into one system, where a patient will be able to have their records pulled...

...Ping sweeps and ports scans are common methods for hackers to try to break a network. As a system administrator this is a valid concern and for the boss this should not be a worry for him. The system administrator has a lot of steps to stop efforts from hackers to acquire any data by using ping sweeps and ports scans. If hackers are constantly thwarted and discouraged from penetrating your network they normally move on to another site. With proper instruction, the right software and sufficient support, one can take necessary steps in preventing malicious types of activities in a network. Port scans and ping sweeps may seem dangerous, but they can also be understood and monitored in order to identify and defend against network threats. Port scans (as its name implies) directed to ports and the response received gives the hacker an idea of the systems integrity and to help set them up for a later intrusion. Port scans are the most common probing tool available. Port scans take ping sweeps to a different level. Port scans actually “look” at a machine that is alive and scan for an open port. Once the open port is found, it scans the port to find the service it is running. All machines connected to a Local Area Network or Internet run many services that connects at well-known and not so well known ports. A port scan helps the attacker find which ports are available. Essentially, a port scan consists of sending a message to each port, one at a time. The kind of response received indicates...

...the relationship between information technology (IT) and information systems (IS). Information Technology and Information Systems work hand in hand in many business scenarios, although they are not the same. Information Technology (IT) refers to the technological side of an organization, but is not limited to communications. The IT department is the division of engineering that deals with the use of computers and telecommunications to get, transmit, and store information. The IT department of any given company could handle anything from hardware installation to software deployment. It is the use of networks, computers, software, programming languages, and computer hardware; these are all examples of the scope information technology. Managed Information Systems (MIS) is the practice of how information is delivered, communicated, organized and used in order to achieve any number of goals. The MIS department is a division of the general in-house controls of a business that deals with the use of people, documents and procedures by management. The MIS department uses these controls to solve business problems, report data to management, finance and sales. The MIS department would provide and collect information for research and development to provide a service or a business-wide strategy. The MIS department would essentially be a part of everything from management, finance, sales, research and development to final production. Although most information is delivered electronically...

...Contrast Components and Purposes of Information Technology and Information Systems in Organizations. Cynthia Coleman Systems Analysis and Design CIS 3512 Professor Setterlind July 6, 2014 Information Systems have been around for a long time, whereas, the term Information Technology is relatively new. The U.S. Postal Service could be considered an information system with sub-systems including logistics, and transportation. With a system of main post offices and community locations, the Postal Service is able to move letters and packages around the world in only a few days. Since the introduction of computers into the business industry, Information Systems focus on making use of technology to disseminate information. Information Technology could be considered a sub-system of Information Systems since the technology supports and enables the system through software and hardware development. The five main components of an information system are people, hardware resources, software resources, data resources, and network resources. (2010). People include the end-users and also the programmers, analysts, and other technical specialists that support the system. Hardware resources include the servers, client workstations, monitors, keyboards, and all other peripherals that interconnect them. Human interface devices allow users to input data to the system, which is translated into usable information. Software resources include the system operations programs, such as Windows...

...Rational A museum is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artefacts and other objects of scientific, artistic, cultural, or historicalimportance and makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary.Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside. Museums have varying aims, ranging from serving researchers and specialists to serving the general public. Early museums began as the private collections of wealthy individuals, families or institutions of art and rare or curious natural objects and artefacts. The oldest public museums in the world opened in Rome during the Renaissance. However, many significant museums in the world were not founded until the 18th century and the Age of Enlightenment The Colombo Museum was established on January 1, 1877. The founder is Mr. William Henry Gregory, who was the British Governor of Sri Lanka at the time. JG Smither was the architect of the Public Works Department and was able to prepare the plans for the new structure based on Italianate architecture(Colombo National Museum). In 1876 Kandy Museum was established by Sri WicramaRajasinha and it was called “PalleVahala”.This is used as a place somewhere in the queen of king lived.

...Use of Health Information Technology and its impact on the United States Health Care System 1. Information technology in health care Health care experts, policymakers, payers, and consumers consider health information technologies, such as electronic health records and computerized provider order entry, to be critical to transforming the health care industry (1–7). Information management is fundamental to health care delivery (8). Given the fragmented nature of health care, the large volume of transactions in the system, the need to integrate new scientific evidence into practice, and other complex information management activities, the limitations of paper-based information management are intuitively apparent. While the benefits of health information technology are clear in theory, adapting new information systems to health care has proven difficult and rates of use have been limited (9–11). Most information technology applications have centered on administrative and financial transactions rather than on delivering clinical care (12).
