Accounting Information Systems: Controls and Processes

In the newly revised fifth edition of Accounting Information Systems: Controls and Processes, a dedicated team of accounting professionals delivers an authoritative and comprehensive treatment of accounting information systems and internal accounting controls. You'll explore business accounting processes and related controls, as well as the ethics and corporate governance issues related to them.

The authors, drawing on decades of combined experience studying and participating in the accounting industry, offer readers an appreciation for internal controls while maintaining an easy-to-follow style that doesn’t inundate students with technological and technical information. You'll find data flow diagrams and document flow charts, as well as process maps, that explain and highlight business processes used in real-world companies.
