Synopsis
The aim of this book is to teach accounting information systems from an AIS rather than an MIS perspective. The book has a modular organization and is designed for both undergraduate and graduate AIS classes. The accounting implications of recent technological changes are explored, including an explanation of electronic data interchange. It uses CASE tools as illustrations, and discusses rapid application development, user interface design, and object-orientated methodologies. Also introduced are data base design methods, and questions and exercises on each topic.
