In this project, you are assigned to design an REA data model
In this project, you are assigned to design an REA data model (Conceptual model) for project case–Ash Accounting firm. The project tests the knowledge learned from ACCT 300 (the techniques are primarily from Chapter 19 & Chapter 20). The company organization and its operation are illustrated in the Ash Accounting Introduction. I also attached the file in your course module under the group project.
Each group is assigned to analyze one business cycle and complete the six-step REA data model for the assigned business cycle. You can check the group member on your Canvas page—People-> Group Project.
