    The article Improving Accounting Students’ Writing Skills is about how many accounting students don’t realize how much writing is truly involved with being an accountant. It also explains that communication skills are one of the five core competencies outlined in the CPA Vision Project, tested on the CPA exam, and demanded by employers. Due to advancements in technology, accountants are spending less time gathering, processing, and reporting information, and more time strategizing and interpreting information. In a recent study one third of employers are unhappy with accountants writing skills. The CPA Vision Project plans to improve accountants’ writing skills to further satisfy their employers’ needs. One of the core competencies, communication and leadership skills, is the ability to “give and exchange information within meaningful context and with appropriate delivery and interpersonal skills.” In order to achieve this vision, accounting classes need to begin to stress the importance of having good writing skills necessary to become a successful accountant.…

    Systems Development Life Cycle Checklists The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process applies to information system development projects ensuring that all functional and user requirements and agency strategic goals and objectives are met. The SDLC provides a structured and standardized process for all phases of any system development effort. These phases track the development of a system through several development stages from feasibility analysis, system planning and concept development; to acquisition and requirements definition; design; development; integration and testing; deployment and acceptance; though deployment and production; and finally to system retirement. The Records Management (RM) Profile1 recommends that agencies embed records management requirements in the earliest stages of the SDLC. The following document is a checklist to assist agencies to integrate RM into the SDLC. The checklist identifies certain points in the SDLC process where the agency may propose to establish records management review and approval to ensure that sound RM practices are incorporated into the development of its proposed IT systems. While the attached SDLC diagram demonstrates these stages in a linear “waterfall” systems development methodology, the checklist can be used with other systems development methodologies as well, such as “spiral,” “parallel,” “rapid application development (RAD)” and “prototyping” by modifying the checklist to fit the phases of the preferred SDLC method used. The checklist provides three to five basic questions about records management and recordkeeping for each phase of the SDLC lifecycle process. The checklist questions are intended to begin a more detailed discussion with agency records managers, IT and CPIC staff, and program managers and staff that will help identify recordkeeping requirements in each phase, with a great emphasis on identifying records management requirements at the earliest stages of project planning, initiation and…

I am responsible to bring the representatives from each area together to discuss how we will move forward with that year’s tasks. I always begin by reminding everyone what we did the prior year and then I ask the group how they want to proceed with the current year’s plan.
