Accounting Information Systems 9th Edition by James Hall

Exercise 38

ANNOUNCING A NEW INFORMATION SYSTEM
The AJAX Company is considering implementing a new accounting system, which will automate sales processing, cash receipts, accounts payable, and cash disbursement procedures. Roger Moore, AJAX's CIO sent an announcement letter to the AJAX community. In the letter Moore said: "I have contracted with Spartan Consulting Group to do the needs analysis, system selection, and design work. The programming and implementation will be performed in-house using existing IT department staff. The development process will be unobtrusive to user departments because Spartan knows what needs to be done. They will work independently, in the background, and will not disrupt departmental and internal audit work flow with time-consuming interviews, surveys, and questionnaires. This promises to be an efficient process that will produce a system appreciated by all users."
Required
Draft a memo from George Jones, Director of Internal Audits in response to Moore's letter.
