Why study ERP? The accountant of tomorrow will be significantly different

from the accountant of the past. The accountant's role has been expanding within organizations and they are becoming part of the management and decision-making team, rather than just providers of financial information. Major catalysts for this dramatic change are found in recent advancements in computer technology and the advent of e-business.

Corporate accountants must shift priorities from analyzing past events to acting as strategic partners, advisers and information providers. In a recent survey, CFOs (Chief Financial Officer) indicated that, in addition to traditional financial expertise, future growth is primarily related to technology and e-business in public accounting. Outstanding opportunities exist in consulting and in the corporate environment for individuals with both an accounting and information systems background.

In a nutshell…

Since we are in a technology-driven society, we must understand some fundamental computer-based knowledge and need to learn today to work with the robots of tomorrow!

What is a System? A system is an entity consisting of interacting parts that are

coordinated to achieve one or more common objectives. Systems must possess Interrelationships

The relationship between subsidiary ledgers and the general ledger

Integration

Individual transactions to financial statements

Central Objectives Financial reports, budgets, management reports

A system is a set of interdependent elements that together accomplish specific objectives.

A subsystem is the interrelated parts that have come together, or integrated, as a single system, which we have named System 1.0.

Data versus Information Data are raw facts and figures that are processed to produce

information.

Information is data that have been processed and are meaningful and useful to users. The terms “meaningful” and “useful” are value-laden terms and usually subsume other qualities such as timeliness, relevance, reliability, consistency, comparability, etc.

30

Functional Steps in Transforming Data into Information

Data collection - capturing, recording, validating and editing data for completeness and accuracy

Data maintenance/processing - classifying, sorting, calculating data

Data management - storing, maintaining and retrieving data

Data control - safeguarding and securing data and ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the same

Information generation - interpreting, reporting, and communicating information

31

An information system is a framework in which data is collected, processed, controlled and managed through stages in order to provide information to users.

It evolves over time and becomes more formalized as a firm grows and becomes more complex. It can be a manual or computerized system.

Firms depend on information systems in order to survive and stay competitive.

New developments in IT affect the design of an IS. What basic requirements are needed to evaluate the

costs and benefits of new IT developments? Develop a basic understanding of how IT developments

can be used to create an opportunity to modify existing strategies. Because an IS functions within an organization, it should be designed

to reflect the values of that organizational culture. The Internet makes strategy more important than ever. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems integrate all aspects of a

company’s operations with its traditional IS. The future of ERP Lines between SCM, CRM, and ERP will continue to

blur. The process of ERP moving into the cloud has already started as more and more providers and customers transition to cloud ERP.
