Imagine that you have been asked to make a presentation before your organization's board of directors on how financial information flows through an accounting information system.

To make your presentation move smoothly from the beginning to the end and not to lose any of the board members (and to keep them awake):

Create an outline that shows the flow of information and the steps in the accounting cycle necessary for their understanding.

Include some notes on each step so you have a cheat sheet (Makes you look and sound brilliant. Think promotion!).

Keep your creation simple.

Describe fully the steps in your outline.
