5.0 out of 5 stars Good source., July 5, 2007

By	cleverKermit (Rexburg, ID) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Core Concepts of Accounting Information Systems (Paperback)

I read the one review on this book and I don't agree. I think if you don't know anything about accounting information systems this book might appear to be scattered. However, if you have some exposure to AIS(Accounting Information Systems) you'll immediately recognize the flow of topics is typical of the subject. The author is very thorough and organized in his coverage and gives required insight. A book about AIS is not going to read like an accounting textbook, nor are the topics going to be mastered in the same way. I really liked the book. I originally read the library's copy, but I bought my own because it was so good and I wanted a copy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad, October 29, 2005

By	J. Bell "ednol8" (Iowa, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Core Concepts of Accounting Information Systems, Ninth Edition (Paperback)

This book is very disorganized. One chapter is flowcharts, next is viruses, next is flowcharts, lets talk about sarbanes oaxley and than flow charts again, now maybe some discussion about SAP and reducing clerical costs then some ERP architecture.


Where they just throwing darts at a piece of paper with topics?

Also, no attempt at a solutions manual to the poorly worded questions. Poorly worded questions which also content wise where pretty stupid, (ie bob notices 50$ missing from his petty cash fund every week, he leaves the counter and he has many people manning the store including janitors. What are preventive controls he can implement)

1.0 out of 5 stars disorganized, April 20, 2009

This review is from: Core Concepts of Accounting Information Systems (Paperback)

The topics are disorganized and the ideas within each chapter are presented with little to no structure. One can never quite figure out how the issues are connected or not connected.
