Book Description
Mark Simkin, Jacob Rose, and Carolyn S. Norman's essential text helps students understand basic AIS concepts and provides instructors the flexibility to support how they teach the course, while still covering the basic concepts of Accounting Information Systems (AIS). Given the variety of objectives for an AIS course and the different ways that instructors teach it, the authors developed Core Concepts of Accounting Information Systems covers only the core topics what are covered in any AIS course. The text is designed for a one-semester course in AIS and may be used at the community college, baccalaureate, or graduate level.
