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 instruc- tors 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 addi- tion 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-com- merce, XBRL, enterprise wide software, ERP systems, computer crime, data modeling, and data- bases. 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 core concepts gives instructors greater flexibility. • Each chapter begins with an outline and a list of learning objectives that emphasize the key subject matter of the chapter. • Many real-world Cases-in-Point are woven into the text material. Each chapter also includes a more detailed real-world case or concept in an end-of-chapter AIS-at-Work feature. • 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. • Lists of references, recommended readings, and Web sites at the end of each chapter allow students to explore the chapter material in greater depth.
