Business Information Systems for Accounting Students

"Tracking the relationship between accounting and technology in an ever changing world is no mean feat. Now, this book offers a comprehensive overview of technology- using many real-life examples - to introduce why and how technology matters for today's accountant"

Professor Niels Dechow, EBS Business School, Wiesbaden. 

Information systems and technology are integral to most organizations. Any accounting student will need a good knowledge of how present day information systems and technologies affect how business is done, how information can be gleaned from information systems and the integral role that technology plays in an accounting career. 

Business Information Systems for Accounting Students offers a more practical approach than the typical accounting information systems textbook. The text covers the technical foundations of the topic, and provides a unique insight into what information systems and technology mean for accountants in today's business environment. Providing a contemporary education for undergraduate accounting students, Quinn and Kristandl offer a fresh perspective that is relevant to both UK and international students of computerised accounting, accounting information systems or accounting technology. 

Key features of the text include:

• Real life examples with QR codes for easy access on smart devices . Examples are drawn from leading organizations such as Ryanair, Marks and Spencer, SAP and The World Bank.
• Coverage of the features of selected office, accounting and business software
• Mini-cases to show how technology benefits business
