Migrating to a new accounting information system is not an easy task. Many firms have struggled with this process, even though our textbook makes the process seem quite straightforward. Recently, IBM recapped some of the lessons learned in migrating to a new accounting information system within the federal government. These lessons can be applied to any accounting information system project. Others have developed their own recommendations for best practices and lessons learned involving implementing accounting information systems. However, in order to appreciate what IBM and others are proposing, we need to apply lessons learned to a real-life situation involving the failure to implement an accounting system properly.

For this assignment, research the Internet or Strayer databases for information related to a real-life accounting information system failure and best practices, as well as lessons learned from implementing the accounting system. In addition to information that you may find during your research, please use the following IBM article to complete the assignment: (http://www.businessofgovernment.org/article/what-we-know-now-lessons-learned-implementing-federal-financial-systems-projects).

Write a ten to twelve (10-12) page paper in which you:

Identify three to five (3-5) factors that contributed to the accounting information system failure within the business that you have identified. Indicate the impact to the business. Provide support for your rationale.
Assess senior management responsibility for the failure in question. Specify what the senior management could have done differently to avoid the failure. Provide support for your rationale.
Evaluate whether the most significant failure occurred within the system design, implementation, or operational phase of the process. Indicate what the company could have done to avoid the failed outcome. Provide support for your rationale.
Evaluate how implementing best practices would have reduced the chances for failure. Provide support for your rationale.
Based on your research, develop a list of between four (4) and six (6) best practices that organizations should use today to reduce the chances for failure. Provide support for your rationale.
Using the information provided by IBM and others, indicate which of the principles designed to provide insight into effective and efficient strategies on how to best deploy financial management systems, which were outlined within the related article, should serve as an example of what not to do when establishing the foundation for a firm to follow. Your proposed foundation should consist of at least two (2) principles, but no more than six (6). Provide support for your rationale.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Communication Scenario #1: Inspirational Change Message Writing Assignment

The Turn the Ship Scenario comes about when things are not going particularly well and require adjustment to either improve a result or prevent disaster. In the Turn the Ship Scenario people are being asked to change the way they do their jobs or address workflow. Most individuals, especially in the context of work, struggle with adjustments to their daily routine and may resist change.

how literacy benefits the individual and society

Remember, however, that you are discouraged from engaging in binary thinking.  A thesis that only speaks to “valuable” or “not valuable” will not be sufficient to answer this prompt.  You must consider more complex questions: What is the value?  What aspects of it are valuable and which are not?  Is literacy still important?  What kinds of literacy?  Whatever you believe, you need to “prove it.”

In order to “prove it,” you need to use evidence and examples taken from the provided texts.  Use at least 3 different sources from the articles provided to support your claims.  If you find and want to include additional research, you may, but you do not need to. You can also use personal experience but do not over-rely on it.
