Product Description
Product Description
Using a business process approach, this text integrates AIS topics to provide a strong conceptual foundation in accounting systems and controls. Throughout the text, the authors emphasize the relevance of the content to accountants and the roles that they play as designer, user and evaluator of information systems. The text provides numerous problem-solving aids to help students develop competencies in documenting and analyzing transaction cycles and AIS data, identifying risks and controls, using accounting applications, and designing and evaluating AIS. A set of core cases is used throughout each chapter to facilitate integration. There is a comprehensive case at the end of the text that is designed to give students further opportunity for integration of concepts and tools. For instructors emphasizing database design and accounting applications, a database design project is also integrated in the text. A supplement is available to help students learn how a relational database (MS Access) can be used to implement an AIS.

Good overview of how systems work,

This review is from: Accounting Information Systems: A Business Process Approach (Hardcover)
I was looking for a book that described in depth how the various cycles (e.g., Revenue Cycle) worked in conjunction with the various tables. Does an outstanding job with in-depth details where you not only learn the steps, but how the system is updated at each stage. Good material on controls, especially application controls that need to be built into the system. Normally I never look at case studies and assignments, but in this book, they were useful.

Product was as described. Maybe a little bit better in quality. Shipped as scheduled. No hold ups. Recommend seller. By the way stay away from maluprynce. The person did not even ship the book I ordered. I wish that this seller had the other book I needed for class. But yeah expect the product shipped to your destination on time if ordering from this seller.

Very Basic and Naieve Book,

This review is from: Accounting Information Systems: A Business Process Approach (Hardcover)
I bought this book hoping to find a good reference in accounting information system with a focus on processes, yet I found a nieve, elementery book that is more of a help to a student just starting to learn information systems. The star rate is only because I have a book which might be helpful to any student having no clue about Information System. The business process approach is a big word to be part of the title as it is far beyond the real process and relating information system as I knew it.It was really a disappointing buy |
