2-2 Short Paper: System Flow Diagrams

ACC 315 Module Two Short Paper Guidelines and Rubric

Prompt: Write a short paper on a process at your current (or past) place of work. This could be a department process or, if the business is small, how the business operates as a whole. Create a system flowchart that captures the business process of your choosing. In addition, provide a one- to two-paragraph summary of what the department or business does so that your instructor will have context for the diagram.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

 Briefly describe a business process. Include enough detail to understand the process.  Create a system flowchart of the chosen business process. Ensure that it accurately reflects your description and is logical and legible.
