Why isn’t this a Database Class?
 Almost all AIS are built using database technology!
 Almost all IS are built using database technology!
 Shouldn’t we be learning how to design, build, query
databases?
 Design - Yes
 You should understand the importance of proper design of
databases (using 3nf) to eliminate common data/information errors
if not designed properly.
 Build – No
 Not many accountants will actually be tasked with building a
database, that’s what the IT folks are for
 Query – Maybe
 Like build above, most queries will be designed by the IT folks, but
you should understand how they are built and how to use them.

Information Characteristic
Paper
 Chapter 1, Table 1-1 describes certain characteristics of Information
 These are described in almost every AIS textbook and almost every
IS Systems Analysis and Design Textbook
 But these characteristics do NOT come from the IS/IT community
 They come from the Accounting community!
 Think about that, why do you think this is so?
 The paper will address:
 where these characteristics were first used related to accounting?
 What are the similarities/differences in the context in which
these characteristics were first described and today's Accounting
Information Systems?
 Limit your paper to no more than three pages.

Paper Submission / Grading
 Submission will be via WebCourses link to Turnitin.com
 Do your own work
 Do NOT plagiarize
 Cite works properly
 So if you want to incorporate something from an article you’ve found, put it in “ “
and (cite it).
 Obviously if your entire paper is “ “ you will not receive a high mark
 Turnitin.com allows me to identify papers that are similar to each other (if you
copy each other), similar to already prepared papers (if you copy one or buy
one online), or if you plagiarize, etc. So please don’t
 Consequences – Paper will receive zero points
 Your name will be provided to Office of Student Conduct for Cheating
 Grading
 Be Patient it will take me some time to read and grade the 300+ papers I
receive.
