We are requesting funds to renew 3 databases/licenses used by accounting students. (All MTSU students would have access to these resources, but I am limiting my discussion to accounting students because of the difficulty in quantifying the additional students who will benefit.) The first line item is license renewal to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' database that provides access to professional accounting and auditing literature. The second line item is the RIA tax database - it provides access to the Internal Revenue Service code, regulations, and court cases. It is important for accounting students to learn to use these databases because both are prevalent in practice and these skills are now tested on the CPA exam. All undergraduate accounting majors (approximately 500) and MS students (approximately 100) will benefit from this software. The third line item lists the MSDN Academic Alliance license. This license allows us to install many different MS products on classroom and lab computers as well as allowing us to make free copies of the software to distribute to students. Software from this license is used in several accounting classes, so again, all accounting majors as well as other business students can benefit.
