About this title

From the Author:

Purpose/Audience for book
This book explains the basic concepts and principles of accounting information systems (AIS). It is appropriate for those who would like an introduction to the subject. It may also be used in academic undergraduate or graduate courses. The book was purposefully written to be brief so that an instructor may supplement the text with cases, readings, software, or other pedagogical materials. Because AIS is taught differently by virtually everyone who teaches it, this book allows an instructor to choose the focus of a particular course.
