M.Com. (Computer Auditing) / The implementation of EDI into South Africa business has only started in the recent past. The main reason for this is the fact that the huge benefits in terms of faster processing of business transactions, reduced costs of processing and the formation of strategic business alliances with key business partners, is only now being accepted by management. The other reason is due to the fact that large, commercially operated Value Added Networks (VANs) have only been in existence in this country during the last two years. The primary objective of this short dissertation can be summarised as follows: a) To provide a brief overview of the developments which are currently taking place in South Africa in the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment and the Value Added Network (VAN) environment; b) To highlight how EDI is currently being implemented in South Africa; c) To develop a simplistic framework of key information systems controls which an auditor should consider when evaluating the information systems at a client; and d) To apply this controls framework to the EDI and VAN environments in order to derive lists of the information systems controls which should be reviewed by the auditor when their client makes use of an EDI VAN.

M.Comm. / The primary objective of the dissertation is: • To explain the design and implementation of effective accounting systems and procedures in a small organisation with a workforce of less than 100 employees. The secondary objectives of the dissertation are as follows: • To explain the nature of current non-value adding accounting systems and procedures whch the small organisation should change or eliminate; • To explain the nature of desired value-adding accounting systems and procedures which should be introduced by the small organisation; • To explain management involvement and participation in the design and implementation of accounting systems and procedures manuals in a small organisation; • To explain the purpose, objectives, need for and basic writing principles which a written accounting procedure of a small organisation must adhere to; • To explain the steps to be followed to design and implement an accounting system and procedure; and • To propose suggestions and recommendations with reference to the design and implementation of accounting systems and procedures. • To determine the minimum and maximum accounting systems and procedures that needed to be implemented in the small organisation; • To identify the shortcomings and positives regarding the information supplied by the current Accounting systems. All of the abovelisted primary and secondary objectives have effect on a small organisation with less than 100 employees, a limited cashflow and which pays limited attention to procedures, due to time constraints. The time constraints relate primarily to the limited workforce.
