Fundamentals of Accounting Information Systems: An Internal Control Approach introduces students to the foundations of accounting information systems: how data flows through various accounting subsystems and the manner in which it is processed and converted into output for users. Written in an informal and conversational style, this textbook emphasizes the role of internal controls in accounting information systems alongside discussions of business process data flows. Examples and illustrations deal with entities of various sizes and in different industries, including not-for-profit and government organizations. The connection between basic business processes and accounting information systems is explored in computerized and semi-computerized environments. The textbook begins with overviews of internal control concepts, flowcharting, and business processes. Later chapters focus on specific business processes and the way data moves in and between them. These business process chapters include a capstone assignment, created so students will draw on the core questions in each chapter and apply them in a new situation.
