Due to the converging role of accounting and information systems in business, students are required to possess a firm understanding of accounting information systems and how they impact upon various core business processes. In a business world governed by the recommendations of Sarbanes-Oxley and as the accounting profession seeks to re-establish the confidence of various stakeholders, quality information and robust accounting information systems are paramount to an organisations ability to manage operations, make investment decisions, strategically plan, grow the business, and report accurately about financial performance."--Publisher Notes Previous ed.: 2005 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Audience For undergraduates Subject Accounting -- Data processing -- Textbooks.
