INTRODUCTION TO ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter provides an introduction to accounting information systems (AIS). It begins by examining how accounting information is used both within and outside organisations, before describing the role occupied by information systems (IS). Rapid advances in information technology (IT) have led to the development of a suite of accounting-based information systems, collectively known as AIS. These systems are then critiqued before considering the future role for both accounting and accountants in the digital economy and beyond.
