From the Publisher:

Based on the authors' bestselling AIS: Concepts and Practice for Effective Decision Making, this dramatically shorter text is entirely updated to reflect recent changes in technology and AIS practice. Covers such subjects as EDI, reengineering, neural networks, client/server, and events accounting. In addition to examples included throughout every chapter, a special "AIS at Work" feature demonstrates how actual companies make use of the AIS concepts presented in each chapter. Contains two chapters on control and one each on information systems auditing and computer security and crime.

From the Back Cover:

Offering concise, user-friendly coverage of core topics, Moscove, Simkin, and Bagranoff's essential text provides a strong foundation for courses in Accounting Information Systems and gives instructors the flexibility they need to meet their individual course objectives. The text is an excellent stand-alone resource for a shorter course in accounting information systems, or the perfect addition to a longer class in which you choose to integrate other materials such as software manuals, casebooks, and readings.

Completely updated and revised, the new Eighth Edition provides the latest information on e-commerce, XBRL, enterprise wide software, ERP systems, computer crime, data modeling, and databases. Students will discover how Accounting Information Systems collect, record, and store business data; learn how to develop effective internal control systems; and examine the accountant's role in designing, developing, implementing, and maintaining Accounting Information Systems.

Features:
* Focused coverage of ore concepts gives instructors greater flexibility.

* Each chapter ends with a summary and a list of key terms.
* Four types of end-of-chapter exercises (discussion questions, problems, Internet exercises, and cases) help students understand the material and gauge their progress.
