A subset of both the knowledge and competency requirements of the International Federation of Accountants International Education Guide 11 (IEG11, 2003), 'Information Technology for Professional Accountants'. It is intended to prepare professional accountants to work in the information technology environment. The core of the unit addresses IEG11 and the fundamental general Information Technology (IT) knowledge and IT Control knowledge required by all accountants. Students then specialise in selected topics relating to a work domain and role which is of particular interest to them. The domains and roles are those specifically addressed in IEG 11, paragraph 32-34. 'Industry and Commerce', 'Public Practice' and the 'Public Sector' (government and other not-for-profit agencies). Roles include the accountant as user of the system, financial manager, auditor and external advisor. Please note the designer role is specifically excluded from this unit.
