Core Concepts of Accounting Information Systems

Buy

Information technologies impact every aspect of accounting, including financial reporting, managerial accounting, auditing, and tax. The nature of the work done by accountants continues to evolve as these technologies advance. For example, less than 30 years ago, accountants could have spent much of their day footing ledgers and making hand calculations. Today, of course, accountants use the many helpful functions in spreadsheet software, and update or change calculations instantly, instead of the days it would have takenwith paper and pencil. Internet technologies continue to change theway accountants do things. And because most accounting systems are now computerized, accountants must understand software and system processes to effect and evaluate systems of internal control. Business and auditing failures continue to force the profession to emphasize internal controls and to rethink the state of assurance services. As a result, the subject of accounting information systems (AIS) will continue to be an important part of the new vision of the accounting profession.

The purpose of this book is to help students understand basic AIS concepts. Exactly what comprises these AIS concepts is subject to some interpretation, and is certainly changing over time, but most accounting professionals believe that it is the knowledge that accountants will need for understanding and using information technologies and for knowing how an AIS gathers and transforms data into useful decision-making information. In this edition of our textbook, we include the core concepts of accounting information systems indicated by chapter in the table below. The book is flexible enough that instructors may choose to cover the chapters in any order.
