Response to the following problem:
Practical exercises assess students' ability to apply theoretical learning to practical, real world situations. In this assessment students must form project groups of 3 to 5 students. Each group must research how an organisation of their choice has used an accounting information system solution to improve the efficiency of its processes. Groups will present their findings during tutorial sessions commencing in week 10.
The presentation should:
• Identify the organisational need for the system
• Identify the key features and functionality of the accounting information system(s)
• Describe how the systems integrate the different functional areas of the organisation
• Evaluate the systems effectiveness and discuss any implementation or operational issues.
Presentations should last between 10 to 15 minutes with each group member playing a designated role. A hard copy report of approximately 2500 must be provided to support the presentation. The report should include reference to the roles and contributions of each member of the group.
