"Each of us who teaches Accounting Information Systems (AIS) faces the problem of providing students a comprehensive, but interesting knowledge base of AIS. However, we all know that it is difficult to find the right balance of coverage of technical concepts and student comprehension. When addressing this issue of balance, we began to see clearly that a better, more comprehensible approach was needed. With this book, faculty have argued that we have achieved a good balance of covering technical concepts and adding real world examples, while still making the text easy to read and understand. Our textbook also reinforces AIS concepts with relevant, real-world examples and reasonable end-of-chapter materials"--
