IT for Accounting
About this course
In this microcredential, you’ll explore the role of computer-based accounting systems in managing financial data and supporting decision-making. You’ll learn to evaluate ICT controls to ensure financial statements are accurate, compliant, and secure, and use audit logs to assess the validity and reliability of transactions.
You’ll examine how to set up transaction and approval controls to reduce errors and prevent fraud, and develop working papers for organising and reviewing financial information. You’ll also practise critiquing these papers to spot flaws, inconsistencies, and areas for improvement.
The course covers data exchange formats like CSV, XML, and JSON, and how they’re used to share financial data. You’ll learn to locate and interpret tax-related information and assess an organisation’s ICT requirements—both accounting and non-accounting—to evaluate the effectiveness of its technology controls.
