Electronic Cloud Version of the Systems Understanding Aid

1st Edition

Arens, Ward, Bay, and Drum

The Electronic Cloud Version of the Systems Understanding Aid (E-SUA), 1st Edition by Arens, Ward, Bay, and Drum, is a cloud-based version of our most popular accounting supplement, the Systems Understanding Aid (SUA), 10th  Edition by Arens and Ward. Like the SUA, the E-SUA is a comprehensive accounting practice set that includes flowcharts, realistic business documents, and internal controls. The E-SUA combines the hands-on learning approach of the SUA with cloud-based convenience to help students understand basic business documents and visualize information flow in the accounting process. The E-SUA is designed for use in AIS, financial accounting, auditing, and capstone courses. The E-SUA was designed to help students:

  • understand flowcharts, documents, records, internal controls, and their role in the accounting process.
  • see the big picture of accounting by completing all phases of an accounting project.
  • understand accounting transactions and their relationship to financial statements.

In this 15-20 hour online project, students will:

  • electronically complete all documents and records in the cloud based on instructions and flowcharts.
  • use the transactions data to prepare entries in appropriate journals and individual postings to the general and subsidiary ledgers.
  • perform internal control procedures indicated on the flowcharts.
  • prepare adjusting entries in the general journal and post journals to general and subsidiary ledgers.
  • prepare an income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows.
  • prepare a bank reconciliation.
  • prepare a monthly accounts receivable statement.
  • prepare reports of accounts receivable aging, accounts payable, and fixed assets.
  • file all completed E-SUA documents and records as indicated in the flowcharts.

Convenient Features of the Cloud-based E-SUA:

  • Automatic grading!
  • The ability to assign a different transaction set to each student, if desired.
  • Two main categories of transaction sets to choose from: (1) shorter/less complex and (2) longer/more complex, Guidance for choosing the best transaction set type for your course/students is provided in the Instructor’s Guide/Solutions Manual.
  • Choice of approach: chronological or cycle-based, depending on which approach best suits your course.
  • Choice of one or four assignments, with timers for each assignment.
  • Choice of either one grading submission or up to five grading submissions for each assignment.
