Throughout the unit, students will become familiar with the concepts associated with accounting information systems. Enrolment in this unit requires continuous access to an IBM PC or IBM compatible microcomputer either via a student's own arrangements or a USQ study centre, as well as access to either Microsoft Excel for Windows or Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows. Accounting software will accompany the textbook.
