Accounts Qualification for an IT professional

[gooner_njr]

Hi,

I currently work as an IT consultant and have begun working with an enterprise-level financial package (Microsoft Dynamics AX). My background is in IT systems, not accountancy. I'm am currently learning accounts whilst 'on the job' however I'm looking to supplement this learning in 2013 with some professional accountancy training/qualifications.

Can anyone give any advice on an appropriate accountancy course for this type of career path? Having done a bit of research, the AAT qualification seems fairly suitable.

Thanks in advance!

An Accounting Information System (AIS) allows a business to keep track of all its business and accounting transactions and also to maintain record

Six Components of AIS
People who use the system such as CFOs, auditors etc.
Procedure and instructions
Data such as payroll information or vendor invoices
Software
Information Technology (IT) structure which is mainly the hardware
Internal controls for security and protocols

So it will help you out in your IT field as well
