Description
Almost every accounting function today involves a computer of some kind. The speed of change is constantly accelerating; each year more tasks formerly carried out by humans are either delegated entirely to, or assisted by, automation. We can now finish work in seconds which took hours only a decade ago. A career in accounting demands a high level of proficiency in the use of computer software, hardware, and technology. It is also a pre-requisite for the more advanced study of data visualization.
We wrote the first edition of this book to share our insights into the potential of information systems in accounting studies. It has since become an indispensable resource for students and professionals alike, offering a cutting-edge approach to understand the systems that power modern accounting practice.
In this edition, in response to studentsÕ and colleaguesÕ demands, we have added a chapter on Accounting Information Systems and some smaller sections.
We appreciate that newcomers to accounting and computing are required to assimilate a broad new vocabulary with many new and specific terms. Following each chapter there are exam-type multiple-choice questions (MCQs) to test your knowledge and highlight the areas which require more study.
Whether you are a student acquiring new knowledge or a professional building your skill set, we trust that this book will equip you with the tools to succeed in our increasingly data-driven world.
