Recently, Bain et al. (2002) emphasized the critical importance of the transaction-processing cycles and internal control topics to undergraduates in an Accounting Information Systems (AIS) course. The current article outlines an in-class, roleplay exercise designed to provide students with a working understanding of the revenue cycle and its related key documents. Additionally, the exercise encourages students to consider risk exposures, internal controls, and technological opportunities to improve business processes. A pre-/post-test reveals that the in-class role-play is a successful learning exercise that significantly increases students' understanding of the revenue cycle. The test also indicates that students enjoy the experience.

The research goal is to identify and analyze the need of accounting information system related to the revenue cycle at PT XYZ. This paper designing the useful of accounting information systems to support the current business processes, especially on the revenue cycle process. The design method is an Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) which refers to the modeling and design requirements discipline. And the result achieved by analysis and design of accounting information systems can support current activities of the revenue cycle, especially for the documentation and store of transaction data, and generate reports in accordance with company requirements. Conclusions derived from the analysis and design is the implementation of a webbased application that can help PT XYZ to do the work in different places, such as marketing office, head office and especially at the exhibition.

Abstract The accounting information systems (AIS) discipline lacks a sense of identity relative to the closely related field of management information systems (MIS). By identifying how AIS is evolving and what makes AIS unique from MIS, the field can gain a better understanding of its importance. We analyze a sample of syllabi for the introductory AIS and MIS courses, focusing on similarities and differences between the AIS and MIS fields as reflected in the topical coverage choices made by AIS and MIS educators. We also investigate the effects of the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on topical coverage in the introductory AIS course. The findings reveal that while AIS courses have a unique focus on transaction processing and internal controls relative to MIS courses, more technical topics such as hardware and software issues and IS solutions are covered more commonly in MIS courses rather than AIS courses. We also find that AIS topical coverage has changed since the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, with a more pronounced focus on internal control and security compared to the pre-Sarbanes Oxley era. The key contribution of this paper is in providing empirical evidence in support of the “intersection view” of AIS, which asserts that while AIS and MIS have some topics in common there are also many issues unique to each field.

The phenomenon associated with the occurrence of fraud in BPR is that it is closely related to the role of BPR internal control, which does not systematically oversee leadership in monitoring, evaluating and reporting all processes and stages of activities. As in the case of an error at BPR Nusamba, one of the employees who collects savings and credit installments, must be deposited with client money but extortion occurs on BPR Nusamba cash, with the amount of money reaching Rp 115,429,909. The sample of this study was respondents who received authority in the use of funds in 27 BPR Batam City units.

ABSTRACT This study proposes a framework and develops a prototype that redesigns revenue cycle business processes to comply with the new revenue recognition standard Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU No. 2014-09 FASB 2014). The new standard aims to report the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue; however, the accounting literature and profession have raised concerns regarding companies' compliance with the new standard, and urged companies to assess their practices and modify their accounting information systems accordingly. This study utilizes process mining to redesign a revenue cycle business process framework to consider single/multiple performance obligation(s), transaction price allocation, sales discounts granted/forfeited, and sales returns scenarios. In addition, a prototype is developed to detect non-standard sales transactions automatically and identify potential violations of the new standard. Findings in this study contribute to emerging technologies in accounting, internal auditing, and revenue recognition research, and are expected to be of interest to academics and practitioners.

This instructional case uses role play to provide students in accounting information systems or auditing with experience in evaluating a firm's internal control environment to assess the likelihood of errors and fraud. The objective is to illustrate how role play can reinforce two important systems/auditing topics: internal control evaluation and fraud detection. The case provides a framework for the discussion of internal control and fraud detection concepts developed in audit standards.
