You are being asked to prepare a 3-5 page document describing an accounting system that is appropriate for a specific type of organization (a sector such as banking, hotel, retail, advertising, restaurant, manufacturing, etc.). The information in your paper will be based on research you conduct by reading text books, papers and websites and talking with a person that uses such a system in your chosen sector. You should primarily discuss the features needed for the sector chosen. But, you should also discuss any other important issues that you find while conducting your research.

Note: The accounting systems paper can take one of two approaches. For whichever industry you chose either find a software accounting system or examine how a company in the industry does their accounting. Basically you should discuss all of the functions that the accounting supports (for instance hotel would include reservations, room rent, room service, additional fees-laundry service etc, room charges from lounge and restaurant, wages, cleaning schedule for rooms etc). It should also be able to prepare reports (specify which reports).

Generally it is easier to find a software for the industry you've chosen because you can easily see all of the functions it performs. However you need to be careful about similarity since the report goes through TurnItIn.
