Its purpose is to maintain currency with rapidly changing AIS technologies in Hawai'i's accounting field. Probable topics include familiarization with the characteristics and application of midrange integrated accounting packages such as MAS90.

Because the definition of what constitutes "back office" varies among software manufacturers, the specific modules/components studied may vary, depending on which manufacturer's midrange solution is currently in use. Concepts will be discussed, demonstrated, exercised, and applied in case studies to provide an understanding of AIS technologies and control systems and to assist students in making informed decisions about proper manual supporting systems and related technoloUpon successful completion of ACC 250, for the modules/components chosen, the student should be able to: Describe the purpose of the back office modules/components in an AIS. Use standard terminology and vocabulary related to the back office modules/components. Understand the hardware and software components required for transaction generation, accumulation and summarization, and how they are related. Demonstrate the practical application of skills in the installation, configuration, and management of the AIS components.
