Unlike many of the other AIS textbooks still being sold, this textbook was well written to begin with and was seriously edited and re-written where necessary to improve its teaching quality in this 5th Edition.

The only criticism that I have of the text was the failure to clearly address the problem of how to code database entries so that a statement of cash balance could be generated using the direct method.

I would recommend a different graphic artist for this next cover, but the authors are right up there with Charles Horngren in my book for writing easy to read and understand Accounting textbooks.

Excellent for self-study when learning this in a classroom is not a viable option.

The only worthy competitor with this textbook is "Accounting Information Systems" 3rd Edtion by James A. Hall which I also recommend .

I work as an accountant and was looking for a book to brush up on AIS. I don't have any other books, except my university text, to compare this to but this book has done an excellent job bringing me up to speed on the current AIS function. This field is rapidly changing and its important for practioners to keep on top of this area of study. I was not disappointed. In my opinion, this book can make this everchanging field very comprehensible to practioners at any level.

This product was a great buy and shipped fast. It was perfectly described and I am very pleased with the product

Good book for Accounting 1. Easy to understand and prepares you for later classes. Lots of good case studies in there as well.

I ordered this used textbook for a college course and needed it to arrive before January 16 when the course begins. It arrived from California to Florida within a week's time! I appreciate your speedy delivery!

I was happy that I was able to purchase and new book and have it arrive by the next day. I would purchase from Amazon again.

Gelinas and Dull provide an excellent intermediate level discussion of systems and controls from an accountant's perspective.

They provide a grounding in how and why accountants interact with financial systems and take a dive down from the DBMS and ERP levels into specific common business process cycles and provide a strong chapter on system acquisitions.

The book is well illustrated and includes many helpful examples.

While it will never be a "coffee table" standard, for accounting and IT professionals who are trying to understand how the "other side" is wired, it can provide some valuable insights.

The book appears in very good shape. Accounting Information System book has a nice cover and great pages. the book is better prepared for this class than I am. Wish me luck!

The Item was in good condition, it came on time and it was very cheap!! I would recommend.

I found this book really wordy and boring, it put me to sleep. The whole idea of learning AIS from a textbook is just like trying to learn to use computer without a computer! The whole AIS operation circle isn't hard to comprehend, but learning it from hundred of pages of literature is a dumb idea. On top of that, I don't think I have to learn the definition of E-Business and its difference from Internet(is there a e-business operated without internet?!).
