ACC 315 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of a client recommendation that includes flowcharts, diagrams, tables, narrative, and an executive summary presentation. The final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency because you will analyze a real-world scenario with the goal of making recommendations for an accounting information system.
In this milestone, you will create a table that identifies weaknesses, potential threats, and potential internal controls, along with a brief paper describing the required data elements and the resulting relational database tables.
