Course: Accounting Information System with SAP
Summer 2010

Course Description:
Having become a member of University Alliance Program of SAP worldwide, IBA
offers its second ever SAP integrated course this summer. The course Accounting
Information Systems with SAP is a fully SAP integrated course which covers
fundamentals of SAP Financial Accounting FI, Managerial Accounting CO, Materials
Management MM and Sales & Distribution SD.

The AIS course is different from other basic accounting courses in that it focuses on
the processes and the working and interaction of various organization elements
rather than the accounting information itself. As against the traditional AIS
curriculum, this course is more focused on business processes in SAP with minimum
discussion of the technical aspects of systems development. The course is delivered
with hands on experience on SAP made available through IDES. More than
50% of the course is therefore given through interactive lab sessions.

The course starts through general review of accounting cycle and SAP navigation
hands on, followed by practical know how of basic business processes in SAP
Financial Accounting (FI), Managerial Accounting (CO), Materials Management (MM)
and Sales & Distribution (SD) coupled with the appreciation of the need and
importance of internal control systems within the business processes.
