MAJ08049 Accounting and Enterprise Systems

The Accounting and Enterprise Systems major provides students with in-depth knowledge of and skills in accounting and information management with integrated business information systems and with knowledge on the impact of enterprise systems (ES) on organisations and business processes. It gives an integrated view of information management for intra- and inter-company business processes, and provides students with knowledge of contemporary issues in business information management, ERP, data warehousing, business analytics, e-business and business process management. The major also focuses on the benefits of integration of business processes and integration of data, business planning, analysis and operations control with ES, and on business analysis with data warehouses.

SAP enterprise solutions are used extensively as demonstration and learning tools. This facilitates students' understanding of real-world problems in accounting and information management and, in addition, provides students with valuable functional software skills.

The major is designed for a broad target group which includes students working or intending to work in companies using (or intending to implement) enterprise-systems (including e-business systems), and ES-consultants intending to expand their knowledge. Future roles include management positions or functional (team) leaders (e.g. senior accountants) directly involved in the management of ES or indirectly affected by ES, but also junior or senior consultants.
