An accounting information system is one that accumulates, stores, and processes financial and
accounting information. The system generates reports that are used to make decisions regarding how
an organization is to be run; These reports are also used by outsiders to evaluate lending and
investment opportunities with the firm. This module will develop your understanding of both the role
of accounting information systems in an organisation and how information technology can support
the activities of the accountant and decision-making.
