This study reports the results of a quasi-experiment involving 90 master of accounting students. The students participated in one of three course types: full-immersion service learning with a supporting textbook, full-immersion service learning without a supporting textbook, or nonservice learning using case-based projects with deliverables identical to those in the service-learning courses. Results indicate that full-immersion service learning increased student satisfaction, student perceptions of ability, self-confidence in chosen careers, desire to study accounting information systems, and performance on complex data modeling tasks. The only performance decrement noted was in performance on a topic that was loosely related to the service-learning project. These results should be of interest to faculty and administrators who might be contemplating the value of integrating service learning in the accounting curriculum.

ABSTRACT The term “Big Data” refers to massive volumes of data that grow at an increasing rate and encompass complex data types such as audio and video. While the applications of Big Data and analytic techniques for business purposes have received considerable attention, it is less clear how external sources of Big Data relate to the transaction processing-oriented world of accounting information systems. This paper uses the Resource-Event-Agent Enterprise Ontology (REA) (McCarthy 1982; International Standards Organization [ISO] 2007) to model the implications of external Big Data sources on business transactions. The five-phase REA-based specification of a business transaction as defined in ISO (2007) is used to formally define associations between specific Big Data elements and business transactions. Using Big Data technologies such as Apache Hadoop and MapReduce, a number of information extraction patterns are specified for extracting business transaction-related information from Big Data. We also present a number of analytics patterns to demonstrate how decision making in accounting can benefit from integrating specific external Big Data sources and conventional transactional data. The model and techniques presented in this paper can be used by organizations to formalize the associations between external Big Data elements in their environment and their accounting information artifacts, to build architectures that extract information from external Big Data sources for use in an accounting context, and to leverage the power of analytics for more effective decision making.

ABSTRACT Student Response Systems (SRSs), also known as clickers, are posited to increase class participation and enhance active learning. In this study, we evaluate perceived effectiveness and student satisfaction with SRSs in Accounting Information Systems classes over several semesters. We also provide additional analyses to determine how SRSs are used in the classroom and which student characteristics and aspects of the classroom experience appear to be related to perceived satisfaction. We find three factors that explain 58% of the variation in SRS satisfaction. These are learning, environment, and class interaction. Two of these factors (learning and environment) are affected by variation in the way the system is used (participation mode vs. quiz mode), and all three are affected by the gender of the student. We find that gender is not directly related to overall satisfaction. In addition, we propose a model for SRS satisfaction based on our exploratory results.

This research aims to test the influence of accounting information system and work stress on performance of employees of PT Efrata Retailindo. The type of research used in this research is quantitative research. The source of the data in the research is primary data. The population in this study are all employees of PT Efrata Retailindo totalling 47 people. Sampling techniques in the study using a purposive sample. While the data collection method used is to use the questionnaire to all employees of PT Efrata Retailindo. Data analysis techniques using multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that work stress had no effect on performance of employees of PT Efrata Retailindo, while information systems accounting effect on the performance of the employees of PT Efrata Retailindo. The value of the coefficient of determination (R2) amounting to 0.106. This indicates that variansi on a variable performance practice undertaken by the company PT Efrata Retailindo of 10.6% can be explained by work stress variables and accounting information systems, while the remaining 89.4% explained by other factors outside the researched.

ABSTRACT This study investigates whether AIS instructors' selection of topics adequately prepares graduates for the expectations of employers seeking candidates who can adapt to the pace of technological change. As businesses adopt new technologies, stakeholders of the accounting profession must periodically reassess educational needs in the area of accounting information systems (AIS). Because AIS is a field that encompasses a wide variety of conceptual and skill-based topics, the selection of course topics can result in a “gap” between what academics and CPA firms expect from new accountants. Given the variety of topic areas, do academics and CPAs agree on which ones to emphasize, or what levels of proficiency are appropriate for each topic? In this study, academics and accountants, primarily in public practice, completed identical surveys regarding desired levels of proficiencies. The results suggest agreement on desired levels of proficiency regarding computer operation and use of accounting software to complete basic tasks and create reports, while suggesting differences of opinion in six other areas (understanding business cycles in an electronic environment, understanding data-sharing technologies, using XBRL, comprehending business needs and how technology could solve problems, understanding e-commerce, and the basics of safeguarding electronic accounting records). Participants concluded by offering observations about the strengths and weaknesses of newly employed accountants.
