The class will be organized into teams of 3 (or 4) students per team. The purpose of the Course Project is to apply the topics and objectives of the course to a business by identifying the customer requirements, evaluating candidate AIS packages and recommending a package for the business. Each team will identify a business that is in need of an AIS. Assume the business does not currently have an AIS and are doing all of their accounting manually. Think of a local small business or charitable organization. Here are some examples: Local grocery store (not a chain), church, day care, beauty salon, caf or restaurant (not a chain), service station, retirement home, doctor's office, etc.

Your team will determine the client requirements and evaluate and recommend an accounting information system package for the client. You will work as a team, week by week to apply the weekly subjects to the client company and then complete the final course project deliverable due in week 8. A peer review will be included.

The final Course Project report which will an Executive Summary, body of information including diagrams and exhibits, a conclusion and recommendations and all appropriate references.

In Weeks 3, 4, 5, and 6, your team will share with the class a short (1-2 minute) presentation on your course project, based on the scheduled work from the prior week. Feedback will be solicited from other teams and your professor.

The course project will also require a professional and entertaining team presentation (prezi/Power Point/Voicethread/Kaltura) that will be submitted in Week 8.
