The Accounting
Information Systems (AIS) program prepares students
for career opportunities in the fields of systems
design, accounting systems management, accounting
systems auditing and other systems-related areas
of accounting.
The AIS major addresses the current
scarcity of information technology graduates
who have a fundamentally sound understanding
of a firm's accounting system coupled with conceptual
knowledge and hands-on experience with Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) applications, as well
as the lack of Accounting graduates who are familiar
and comfortable using advanced technology to
perform the accounting function.
Accounting Information Systems
(AISs) combine the study and practice of accounting
with the design, implementation, and monitoring
of information systems. Such systems use modern
information technology resources together with
traditional accounting controls and methods to
provide users the financial information necessary
to manage their organizations. |
