BACT 329 - Accounting Data Analytics

Unit(s): 4

This course is primarily concerned with providing students the foundation of knowledge necessary to build the skills needed to operate in the world envisioned by the AICPA when they adopted the Electronic Business Strategic Initiative. Accounting is defined by the AICPA as ‘a service activity whose function is to provide quantitative information, primarily financial in nature, about an organization that is intended to be useful in making … decisions.’ Accounting Information Systems (AIS) encompasses those systems, manual and automated, that collect, store, manipulate, disseminate, and present that information to the decision-maker.
