  • Generic Life-cycle of
  • IPSO framework
  • For Business
  • For AIS
  • For FIS
  • Not narrowly defined
  • Isomorphism between Business and Information
    systems

6
Model-Oriented Tool-Enhanced(MOTE)
  • Models as abstractions
  • Technologically independent
  • Tools (software) to implement
  • This course emphasizes tools, laying foundation
    for downstream courses
  • Tools needed by information-age accountants
  • Database skills
  • Spreadsheet skills

Review and Criticisms of the Traditional
Accounting System Architecture
18
Traditional AIS
  • Transactions as subset of Business events
  • Analyze in terms of Accounting Equation, usually
    in terms if Drs and Crs.
  • Journal as limited set of attributes
  • Posting to General Ledger (aggregated at time
    lag)
  • Trial Balance, Adjustments, ATB, Adjust, Close
  • Produce GAAP Financials

19
Criticisms of Traditional Accounting Systems
  • They are non-integrated systems in an
    organization
  • The architecture captures data about a subset of
    an organization's business events (the accounting
    transactions) - FILTERED
  • The architecture stores and processes only a
    limited number of characteristics about these
    accounting transactions FILTERED EVEN MORE
  • The architecture captures and stores duplicate
    data in a highly summarized form - AGGREGATED
  • The architecture stores financial data to satisfy
    one primary view - ACCOUNTANTS PERSPECTIVE
  • Data are not recorded and processed in real-time

Creating Business Value
  • Organizations add value by converting resources
    to develop and provide the goods and services
    that customers desire.

26
Creating Information Value
  • Information Systems add value by converting data
    to develop and provide the information that
    information customers desire.

27
How Can Accountants Add Value In The Information
Age?
  • Provide useful information for decision makers
    who are responsible for planning, executing,
    controlling or evaluating activities of an
    organization
  • Help embed information processes in the business
    processes (to capture and store data about the
    processes in real time)
  • Help embed controls in the business processes
  • Help management define business rules or policies
    that shape the nature of its business processes
