5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Investment, August 5, 2009

This review is from: Accounting Information Systems (10th Edition) (Paperback)

As a CPA and CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor), I am forever trying to keep up with topics covered in the grand subject known as Accounting Information Systems. Since I practice and manage the financial accounting function, I do well by keeping current with a few books including those of Bodnar and Hopwood.

Accounting Information Systems, 10th edition, continues the tradition of strong transaction processing and cycle processes chapters. In fact, the 10th edition shows meaningful updates in all the chapters and continues to improve upon conciseness. I recall the 8th edition, published in 2000, that was 684 pages and had larger dimensions. Thankfully the authors made a major move toward conciseness starting with their 9th edition and have continued. The only thing I miss about pre-9th editions is the hardcover.

New strengths in the 10th edition include excellent chapters on information security and information control and audit. Also, the systems analysis and design (SAD) area is much improved and makes for easier reading.

This book is an investment as there is value in staying current in an area that remains dynamic in this economy. While the subject is dry, no question about that, the authors have done what they can to make each topic more accessible. That's why I recommend this book over others in the category.

This review is from: Accounting Information Systems (10th Edition) (Paperback)

This by far is the most boring book, I have ever read. It's as though the authors don't want you to learn, instead want to show how bright they think they are, by making the book very complicated.
