 Y Not Flowers

Background

Forrest runs Y Not Flowers, Inc. (YNF), a wholesale flower distributor with stores in several major
metropolitan areas of the U.S. He is considering expanding his business, but he thinks his current
accounting and financial systems are restricting that expansion. He also worries that YNF is not
adequately prepared to face expected business risks. He has come to you for assistance.

Instructions

Your supervisor met with Forrest and discussed his requirements in detail. At that meeting, they
agreed on the following deliverables for your project.

1. Document process activity using BPMN. After gaining an understanding of YNF’s

business processes, you will document five current processes using business process
modeling notation (BPMN). These diagrams will serve multiple purposes. YNF
expects to use them to train new employees. Plus, they will provide information about
potential improvements to those processes by the efficient use of information
technology. Additionally, they will also highlight areas where YNF is exposed to
unnecessary risks in his business.

2. Prepare an integrated data model using UML class diagrams and the REA
framework. This data model will serve as the blueprint for YNF’s prototype database
that you will also develop. Also, prepare a corresponding table listing for the
prototype database. Identify where different fields/attribute names provide the same
information and develop recommendations for changes in field names.
3. Prepare the financial reports using the financial data that Forrest has provided in
EXCEL format from his business for the 1st quarter of his fiscal year.

4. Evaluate the financial performance of YNF for the 1st quarter. Relate that to the
plan to adopt information technology in the business. Y Not Flowers wants to move to
a cloud-based accounting system, such as Netsuite or QuickBooks Online. Your
assessment should identify the costs of the change in technology, while also
specifying which business processes would change and how they would change in as
much detail as possible.

5. Recommend changes to YNF business processes to make it more effective and

efficient.

Report to YNF

You will submit all the above deliverables in one report to YNF at the end of the project. The report
should be professionally prepared in an executive summary style and not longer than 3 pages, not

counting any appendices or attachments. The appendices or attachments should include financial
statements, data model and activity diagrams, and other information necessary to support your
analyses and conclusions. The content of the report should be clear to an accounting novice such as
Forrest. Most of the content should be presented using tables, charts, and bullet points . You should
avoid long paragraphs. Specific content of the report should follow the template provided.
