In this project, each student customizes an accounting system using a Web-based accounting package that allows users to enter accounting data anytime anywhere via the Internet. The student also prepares system documentation so that other end-users can efficiently use the system. Finally, the student provides a report that explains whether the Web-based accounting package has all the required features for his or her business. This project helps students learn accounting systems from the enterprise perspective instead of the piecemeal account approach. Results indicate that students significantly improve their knowledge and skills regarding systems design and implementation.
