Accounting Information Systems (9th Edition)

This interesting, extremely useful book stresses information, communication, and networking technology within the realm of business processes and internal control structure. Its brief yet comprehensive coverage has been updated to include all of the latest AIS topics, such as: electronic commerce, electronic security, web commerce, internet security, network security, statistical sampling and artificial intelligence, EDI, databases, and encryption. The new focus on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) allows for more precise planning, forecasting, and monitoring. Advances in Business Engineering and Blueprinting and new discussions on SAP are also highlighted. For those involved in the planning, set-up, implementation, and monitoring of accounting information systems.

It would make a lot more sense if the authors skipped a lot of the details of where Accounting Information Systems fit in our social experience and get down to dealing with the dirty details of how someone would go about writing a system of their own.

Then they could spend a chapter on how to go about the testing of the system and how and why to do a complete re-write of this masterpiece.
