SUMMARY
The video presentation is all about the overview of audit under CIS environment.
It explains the change in technology that affects the accounting system on every
company such as: the scope of audit under CIS environment; each effect on the
accounting records; the importance of CIS environment; and why it is a must for an
accountant to understand the computer system of the company that he/she dealing
with.
The discussion have focused most especially on the scope of audit under CIS
environment that includes: high speed, financial information gives a rapid output through
recording of transaction; low clerical error, errors can easily be detected; concentration
of duties, minimize the tasks on the record keeping or decrease management
personnel; shifting of internal control base, CIS changes anytime through the
development of internal control; disappearance of manual reasonableness, shift from
manual recording to computer based record keeping; impact of poor system, CIS gives
more assurance than the manual record keeping; exception reporting, all management
personnel cannot access the entire CIS since it is intended only to those personnel in-
charge on the specific task; and man-machine interface, provide presentation to users.
Critique
Explanation of the presenter with regards to the discussion of audit under CIS
environment gives a simplest example but there are some portion most especially to
the scope are lacking. The accent of the presenter the way he speak are sometimes
unclear and it is a must that we have to emphasize the most important part of the
discussion to make it understandable to the reader or listener.
The content of the presentation is very brief since it only present the subject of
the topic and it would be difficult in some instances that we cannot follow some part of
the presenter’s explanation. The explanation is clear but the details on the screen
presentation needs more improvements. But generally, the presentation was good and I
was also satisfied since I understand most of the topic.
Meaning
As a future accountant, audit under CIS environment give me an overview on
how to use it in the actual practice and the importance of CIS in the practice of CPA
profession. Understanding the CIS is important to an accountant because most
company used this kind of technology nowadays. I am excited to learn more in this
subject in order to improve and develop my skills when it comes to computer-based
accounting system.
Reaction
I like the video presentation because the presenter explain it very well and
reached my expectation. I am more excited now in this subject because this topic is
important on the actual practice and could help to introduce new learnings on how to
apply my knowledge in accounting to computer-based accounting system. The
explanation on each topic are simplified to make it easier on the part of the reader or
listener to understand it.
Generally, most of the topic are not surprising to me since it was already
discussed on our auditing subject before. I am also thankful for this presentation
because some topics have served as a review and others are new to me. I expect that
this topic will be discussed in more detailed way on our subject.
Application
I have experienced this kind of technology during my on-the-job training at Sultan
Kudarat State University access campus. Computer information system was very
complicated to me that time since there some complex part of the system that are out of
my league. Now that we are discussing CIS environment in our subject, I start realizing
why those kind of system exist and why they are changing their computer program into
a new or most advance computer-based system.
