Abstract
Most accounting information systems (AIS) courses cover business cycles, business processes, transaction processing, risks, controls, and other topics independently. Thus, students can miss important relationships among those topics. This case integrates these topics, including how business cycles drive transaction processing, by guiding students through accounting tasks for a kayak retailer. In the case, students analyze business process activities and record transactions in QuickBooks software, a widely-used computerized accounting system representative of those they will likely encounter during their careers.
