From the supplier: A innovative approach to the accounting curriculum of colleges and universities is helping teams of accounting students gain a knowledge of accounting problems encountered in actual companies. Formed in the Accounting Information Systems class, which stresses curricular goals of knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation, the 'shadow education systems' involve three-student teams visiting a company, observing, evaluating and in some cases recommending changes in accounting procedures. In the win-win scenario, corporations are able to streamline the skills of future job applicants by giving them a knowledge of real world operational matters, and students are able to augment their academic education with working world experience.
