The sixth edition of ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS provides thorough and up-to-date coverage of accounting information systems and related technologies. It features an early presentation of transaction cycles, as well as an emphasis on ethics, fraud, and the modern manufacturing environment. The book focuses on the needs and responsibilities of accountants as end users of systems; systems designers; and auditors. This edition provides complete integrated coverage of Sarbanes-Oxley as it affects internal controls and other relevant topics affected by this legislation, as well as reorganized discussion of transaction cycles that make the balance between manual- and computer-based systems more apparent.

This review is from: Accounting Information Systems (Hardcover)
It is a rare distinction to have written an Accounting textbook that works this well outside of the classroom. I have been reading this to update my knowledge in this area and with a possible eye to writing system documentation or perhaps designing a system of my own. The only topic I missed seeing in the index regards solving the coding problem that would allow generating an accurate statement of cash flow. Why this doesn't pop to the top of the request list among Accounting professionals I don't understand, but so far the treatment is inadequate. The other textbook of note in the AIS area is by Gelinas and Sutton and might fill whatever holes exist in Hall's textbook.
