Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In one, easy-to-use text you get the essential concepts of accounting information systems (AIS). Four specific themes are covered: the role of the accountant as user, evaluator and designer; the typical transaction processing systems and cycles employed by an enterprise; the importance of accounting controls within AIS; and step-by-step procedures for analyzing, designing and implementing a computer-based AIS. New features include: comprehensive cases at the end of the text; increased coverage of data flow diagrams; an extensive glossary; enhanced discussion and illustrations of relational data bases; and complete discussions of emerging developments in decision and expert systems, computer networks and computer-based auditing. Review problems at the end of each chapter and hands-on'' computer assignments reinforce presented concepts.
Includes index.
