Overview
Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Sault College to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

Students in this course will learn the core concepts and use of computer-based information systems in management and accounting. The knowledge acquired will allow students to make informed decisions about the application of information technology

Expected outcomes and deliverables

Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the students and the organization.

Some final project deliverables might include:

  1. A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
  2. A detailed report including their research, analysis, insights and recommendations
Project Examples

Students in groups of 3-5 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis.

Project activities that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:

  • Explaining the concept of the information systems, their role in organizations and the computer and network components required to create systems.
  • Documenting a business process using descriptions and flowcharts.
  • Describing accounting information systems and business process.
  • Describing entity level internal and computer controls for organizations and accounting information systems.
  • Describing computer crime and fraud and the ethical issues with privacy and identity theft.
  • Describing each phase, and the key activities involved, of the system development life cycle (SDLC) which are required to implement and maintain accounting information systems.
  • Assessing accounting on the internet and enterprise software.
