This paper describes the design, capabilities, strengths and weaknesses of a tool that collects data from subjects through the Internet. The Internet tool was designed for students studying cardinalities, a difficult data modeling topic frequently taught in the accounting information systems course. The Internet tool was able to observe usage and task accomplishments of subjects. We used these observations to learn characteristics about tool usage and to compare computer-recorded and self-reported data. These comparisons allow us to evaluate the Internet tool as a data collection device.

This paper presents the Internet as an alternative mechanism for delivering Accounting Information Systems (AIS) study tools. First, a comparison between Internet and tradi-tional delivery methods, such as pencil and paper, disk and CD-ROM is presented. The main advantages of the Internet over the other delivery forms are increased flex-ibility and ease of distribution. Next, we present an Internet study tool that was devel-oped for students learning cardinalities, which is a difficult data modeling topic cov-ered in many AIS courses. We first look at the design of the study tool. Then, we dis-cuss some of the features of the study tool: interactivity, multimedia, distribution and flexibility. Finally, we report some of the lessons learned from the actual delivery of the AIS study tool through the Internet.

The purpose of this study is to find out how Accounting Information Systems are applied to UMKM and how to apply Accounting Information Systems that are effective for UMKM. The form of research is a case study research with data collection techniques using observation, interviews and documentation. The results showed that UMKM had not yet implemented an effective and accurate system. The conclusions of this study are: 1. The control applied is still not effective, 2. The existence of negative findings: a. The absence of accurate records, b. Lack of control in the production and warehouse. There are no financial report. The advice given is that UMKM should improve the system that was previously implemented, the owners of UMKM carry out supervision that authorizes the segregation of duties for each employee, in order to avoid fraud.

This study aims to determine the effect of user involvement on the effectiveness of the use of accounting information systems and to determine the personal capabilities of information systems in moderating the influence of user involvement on the effectiveness of using accounting information systems at PT. Bali Regional Development Bank. The number of respondents used in this study were 52 people who served as executors in the Information and Accounting Technology (TIA) section. Data collection is done by survey method with data collection techniques used in the form of questionnaires. Data analysis techniques were carried out using moderation regression analysis. The results of the study show that user involvement supported by the personal capabilities of information systems is able to increase the effectiveness of the use of accounting information systems at PT. Bali Regional Development Bank. Keywords: User involvement, SIA, personal capabilities of information system.

The primary data collection technique was conducted by survey method distributing questionnaires. The population of this study were all employees of the Information Technology Division of the Palembang City State Bank, amounting to 56 people and the sample used was 56 people using a census that is all the population used as samples. Data Analysis using PLS is a part, as well as an alternative to SEM. From the results of calculations and analyzes carried out, the conclusion is that there is no influence between the application of accounting information systems to the performance of employees of the IT division of the state-owned Bank of Palembang.

ABSTRACT This article presents three exercises that introduce the applications of robotic process automation (RPA) for accounting tasks. The objective of these exercises is to provide undergraduate accounting students with an introduction to RPA that provides hands-on practice during class time. The three exercises cover a wide range of RPA applications, including logging into an ERP system, extracting data from the internet, and entering information from Excel to PDF. We have developed three hands-on, step-by-step exercises using UiPath as the software of choice. We also provide guidance and Teaching Notes regarding how to implement the three exercises in an undergraduate accounting information systems (AIS) course.

Accounting information systems (AIS) is a new course of accounting in the sense that the methods of teaching may differ from one school to another. There has been no such of a standard outline that best describes the important topics to be covered in the course of AIS (McCarthy 1999). Although much effort has been made towards the development of standard lists of topical materials, the space is widely open for research in this debate. It has been noted recently that AIS course textbooks include the relational database design and development as an important part adopted by instructors in teaching the course of AIS (Hollander et al. 2006; Romney and Steinbart 2006). This paper evaluates the current situation for teaching methods sued in the course of AIS and indicates several factors that may preference one method over another method of teaching to the AIS course. It reviews a variety of methods adopted in teaching AIS with emphasize on the data modeling approach using cardinalities and the documentation techniques of flowcharting. The study indicates that preference among variety of teaching methods is based on the method that may increase students' motivation and desire to study AIS, and the relevancy and reliability of the business system. It also indicates that improving students' ability to cope with the higher volatility of systems' requirements now days is another factor that may preference one over another methods of teaching to the course of the AIS.

This paper describes a student project assignment used in an accounting information systems course. We are now truly immersed in the internet age, and while many required accounting information systems courses and textbooks introduce database design, accounting software development, cloud computing, and internet security, projects involving the actual integration of these topics with accounting concepts in a single comprehensive student project on the internet are uncommon. The project described gives students experience and knowledge of an internet-based accounting system using an online database. Although this project was used in an accounting information systems course, it could also be utilized in other courses such as introductory database management systems, advanced web design, financial technology systems, or introductory information technology. The project can be easily modified to align with the experience and sophistication of the students taking the course.

The Belgian Chocolate Company (BCC) case was designed to be used in an accounting information systems (AIS) class with strong emphasis on the Resource-Event-Agent (REA) model, data modeling, and database design. Students are asked to design, implement, and use an accounting database. A unique feature of the case is its delivery through the Internet by means of a dynamic web site. Instructors are able to adapt the content of the case to their specific needs and to create individualized assignments for students.

Instructors increasingly use a data modeling approach to teach accounting information systems (AIS). An important part of data modeling is the specification of cardinalities. Cardinalities represent constraints on the participation of entities in a relationship and are used to express business practices. Stevie is an Internet tool that helps students learn cardinalities. Stevie has a number of unique features. First, Stevie is a collaborative effort; its content is created by a number of instructors. Second, Stevie is a dynamic Internet application. Dynamic Internet technology enables instructors to manage student accounts, add exercises, and create customized assignments. Further, customized assignments make it easy for instructors to adapt Stevie's content to specific learning objectives for their AIS course. For example, instructors can create assignments where students have to define stereotypical cardinality patterns or heuristics for REA relationships. Finally, Stevie supports accounting-specific classifications that make the creation of customized assignments for the AIS class easier.
