My 1st Blog Post Regarding Accounting Information System (DAC2104) Mini Blogging Project

For my 1st post, I would like to talk about Accounting Information System (AIS) generally and what I have learned in class and lab for the first few weeks. AIS is a system of records a business keeps to maintain its accounting system. A system is a set of interrelated functions in order to achieve a specific objective. A combination of subsystems which are put together create a system.

There are many roles of accountants in AIS; as a user of the system, as a designer for the program, as the implementor of the system, as auditors, and also as owners of the program.

In the lab class, I am learning how to use the UBS accounting software. In the first 2 weeks, i have learned how to create new company data, update company profile, add charts of accounts, enter batches, record transactions and edit transactions using the software.

I am looking forward to learn more about the UBS software, as I find it interesting. Although it is difficult to use, it eases the accountants' work to record transactions. One must have knowledge about the software in order to use it.

I think this mini blogging project is a good idea. It requires students to recall what they have learnt in class, and have them explain it in their own words. In a way, it helps students to remember what they have been taught in class.
