摘要:Even though information technology (IT) educators have been teaching basic principles of information
systems for over 20 years, business organizations have chosen to ignore or not implement
them. By not integrating information systems and allowing uncontrolled manual intervention it
was easier to commit the frauds and the financial scandals of the late 1990¡¯s and early 2000¡¯s.
The frauds and financial scandals have resulted in a large increase in business regulation with
many compliance requirements and possible fines and jail sentences for non-compliance. IT educators
need to take some lessons from their accounting colleagues (Titard, 2004) and modify IT
curriculum to take advantage of the compliance environment to focus on the basic principles of
creating quality up-to-date information for organization decision making and to see them implemented.
