In accounting information system consists of the people, records, and methods used to gather financial information about business events, record it, process it into a useful form, and communicate the information to end users and decision makers. In other words, an accounting system is everything and everyone involved in collecting, recording, and organizing financial transactions for the company.  In essence, the goal of an accounting system is to record financial data and turn it into useful financial information.

There are many different parts and components to any accounting information system, but they can typically be broken up into five main categories: source documents, input devices, information processors, information storage, and output devices.

The goal of this course is to develop the ability to conduct empirical research on (1) the role of accounting information in the firm (i.e., contracting and corporate governance, (2) how managers choose to exercise their discretion to implement their firms’ financial accounting, reporting, and disclosure strategies. In doing so, we will develop an understanding of the economic, finance, and accounting theory that underlies empirical accounting research. As we go through each study in this class, we will focus on identifying and understanding three critical elements of each study: (1) the research question, (2) the motivation, and (3) the research design. An author must describe the incremental contribution to the literature to motivate his paper. Therefore, we will also build an understanding of the major results in the literature and evaluate the strength and weakness of each study.

Financial Markets presents an overview of the financial system and its various financial markets, instruments and institutions. Students will investigate the nature and role of the main financial markets within the domestic and global environment. Within this framework, the course is practically-based and enables the learners to critically analyse problems in real-life treasury dealing situations using live data. Students collaborate in small teams during those simulation sessions and report on their treasury dealing activities.
