Assignment: TACC403 – Accounting Information systems

You are given the following problem to analyse and answer the questions listed at the end of

it and submit your answers as a report. Make sure to follow the requirements and report

structure mentioned below under a separate heading.

Problem:

Because improved computer security measures sometimes create a new set of

problems—user antagonism, sluggish response time, and hampered performance.

Some people believe the most effective computer security is educating users about

good moral conduct. Richard Stallman, a computer activist, believes software

licensing is antisocial because it prohibits the growth of technology by keeping

information away from the neighbours. He believes high school and college students

TACC403 – Accounting Information systems 代写

should have unlimited access to computers without security measures so that they can

learn constructive and civilized behaviour. He states that a protected system is a

puzzle and, because it is human nature to solve puzzles, eliminating computer security

so that there is no temptation to break in would reduce hacking.

1. Do you agree that software licensing is antisocial?

2. Is ethical teaching the solution to computer security problems?

3. Would the removal of computer security measures reduce the incidence of

computer fraud? Why or why not?

Requirements & report structure

Reference sources from general websites are not acceptable.

At least six (6) credible references must be used and at least three (3) of these must be from

academic (scholarly) journals. The remaining three (3) may be from industry magazines or

books. The references can be from printed or online sources and must be current (i.e. within

the last seven (7) years).

You are to answer the questions listed at the end of the problem and submit your answers

as a report (2000 words±10%, excluding title page, executive summary, table of

content and references).

For report, create a WORD file to develop your report and include the following:

Title page (no borders or frames, required details include a suitable report title, assignment

title, your name, student number, course code and title, and due date)

Executive summary (briefly describe the purpose of the report and the date on which it was

requested, a brief summary of your major findings, conclusions, and recommendations.)

Table of contents (TOC) (use the feature in MSWORD for auto generated TOC, the

headings ‘Title page’, ‘Executive summary’ and ‘Table of contents’ and also the individual

headings on the title page should not appear in the table of contents that is generated.)

Introduction (identify the purpose of the report and what you will be discussing within the

report.)

Discussion (This is the main body of the report, after ‘Introduction’ and before ‘Conclusion’

headings. This is where you will put the answers to the questions and present the arguments

for your recommendations. You will need to consider headings and sub‐headings, as many

as your discussion requires, between ‘Introduction’ and ‘Conclusion’, using MSWORD

heading styles to guide your discussion to answer the tasks listed for the case study. You

will need to determine in which order you present your material. You should not include the

tasks, but a discussion about those issues that have been highlighted in the tasks.)

Conclusion (a very brief summary of your judgement)

Recommendations (after discussion and analysis, state explicitly what your

recommendations are)

References, a complete reference list at the end of the report using Harvard referencing

style

Headers (only include <Assignment title> as centred, and <page numbers> as right aligned)

Footers (only include <your student ID, LASTNAME> as left aligned, and <course code> as

right aligned)

Header and footer should start from the page containing ‘Introduction’ heading.

Text formatting (use a sans‐serif font in regular style and point size equivalent to 11 in

Calibri font type, also use emphasis, such as, bold, italics, underline, and colours sparingly)

Paragraph formatting (should be left aligned and single spaced)

Assignment: TACC403 – Accounting Information systems

Headings and sub‐headings should not be in number or bullet style.

‘Title page’ ‘Executive summary’, and ‘Table of contents’ should be on separate pages.

‘Introduction’ heading should start from a new page and after that there should not be any

white space (blank line spaces) between headings.

‘References’ heading should start on a new page and references should be in alphabetical

order by authors.

References, under the ‘References’ heading, should not be numbered or have bullets.

Notes:

In report, marks will be awarded based on content that constitutes your work in terms of

argument development.

Avoid discussing specific hardware and software requirements.

Make any assumptions that you find necessary; however, be sure to state your assumptions

within the report.

There is no correct solution for the report. It is possible for students to make different

recommendations. What is crucial is that the argument presented is logical and consistent.

Note particularly: The work submitted must be in your own words. Lengthy quotes, even if

referenced correctly, are not considered to be your own work.
