WHAT IS AN ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEM (AIS)?
1. A system is a set of interrelated components that interact to achieve a goal
2. An AIS consists of people, procedures, data, software, and information
technology infrastructure
3. These components allow the AIS to fulfill three important functions:
Collect transaction data and store it
Transform the data into information useful for decision making
Provide adequate controls to safeguard the assets and data
Why study accounting information systems?
The AIS is a fundamental part of an accounting education because students need
an understanding of:
✔ The use of information in decision making
✔ The nature, design, use, and implementation of an AIS
✔ Financial information reporting
The AIS understanding can be used in the job market
✔ Public accounting – the auditors need to understand the systems
that are used to produce a company’s financial statements
✔ Consulting – design, selection, and implementation of new AIS
✔ Corporate accounting – work relating to accounting systems is the
single most important activity performed by corporate
accountants according to the survey conducted by IMA (Table
1.1)
The AIS course complements other systems courses
✔ The AIS course focuses on accountability and control, which
safeguard an organization’s assets and data and are
incorporated in all information systems
✔ Controls are also needed to ensure that the information produced
from the data in the AIS is both reliable and accurate
THE VALUE CHAIN AND THE VALUE SYSTEM
The primary objective of most organizations is to deliver value to their
customers. They do so by engaging in a number of activities:
Primary activities:
Inbound logistics – receiving, storing, and distributing the inputs
required to produce products or services
Operations – transform inputs into final products or services
Outbound logistics – distributing products or services to customers
Marketing and sales – activities involved in helping customers to buy
organization’s products or services
Service – repair and maintenance function
Support activities:
Firm infrastructure – accounting, finance, legal support, and general
administration activities
Human resources – recruiting, hiring, training, and providing employee
benefits and compensation
Technology – activities to improve products or services
Purchasing – procuring raw materials, supplies, and property, plant,
and equipment
An organization’s value chain will interact with that of its suppliers, distributors,
and customers. This extended system forms what is known as the supply chain
HOW AN AIS ADDS VALUE TO AN ORGANIZATION
A well-designed AIS improves the efficiency and effectiveness of value chain
activities. For example,
An AIS can improve products or services by increasing quality, reducing costs
of products or services
An AIS increases efficiency of operations by delivery of timely information
An AIS provides timely and reliable information to improve decision making
An AIS improves the sharing of knowledge and expertise
A well-designed AIS can also help an organization profit by improving the
efficiency and effectiveness of its supply chain.
DATA, INFORMATION, AND DECISION MAKING
What are data and information?
• Data – facts entered, stored, and then processed by an AIS
• Information – organized, meaningful, and useful data
Decision making is a complex, multi-step activity
• First, the problem must be identified
• Then a method for solving the problem must be selected
• Next, data must be collected to execute the decision model
• The outputs of the model then must be interpreted and the merits of
the alternatives evaluated
• Finally, the decision maker chooses and executes the preferred
solution
An AIS is a key component in decision making:
➢ Structured decisions – repetitive and routine, no model exists to solve
the problem
➢ Semistructured decisions – subjective judgments and assessments
supplement formal data analysis
➢ Unstructured decisions – nonrecurring and nonroutine decisions also
vary in terms of scope:
➢ Operational control is concerned with the effective and efficient
performance of specific tasks
➢ Management control is concerned with effective and efficient use of
resources for accomplishing organizational objectives
➢ Strategic planning is concerned with establishing organizational
objectives and policies for accomplishing those objectives
The information produced by a well-designed AIS can improve decision making
in several ways:
The benefits of information include identifying situations which
require management action
Reduce uncertainty and provide a basis for choosing among
alternatives
Information overload – the point at which additional information cannot be
absorbed; decision making is impeded and the cost of information goes up
information technology and bUSINESS strategy
Michael Porter contends that for long-term success, a company “must deliver
greater value to the customers or create comparable value at a lower cost.” Two
strategies can be employed by the company:
To differentiate their products and services from its competitors and
in doing so at costs below its industry average
To be a lower-cost producer than its competitors
Strategy choice can be made by adopting strategic positions
A variety-based position involves producing or providing a subset of
the industry’s products or services
A needs-based strategic position involves trying to serve most or all
of the needs of a particular group of customers
An access-based strategic position involves serving a subset of
customers who differ from other customers in terms of factors
such as geographic location or size, which creates different
requirements for serving those customers
Teknik Dokumentasi
Questions to be addressed:
– What is the purpose of documentation?
– Why do accountants need to understand documentation?
– What documentation techniques are used in accounting systems?
– What are data flow diagrams and flowcharts?
• How are they alike and different?
• How are they prepared?
– Documentation includes the following types of tools:
– Narratives (written descriptions)
– Flowcharts
– Diagrams
– Other written material
– Documentation covers the who, what, when, where, why, and how of:
– Data entry
– Processing
– Storage
– Information output
– System controls
How do accountants use documentation?
– At a minimum, they have to read documentation to understand how a
system works.
– They may need to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of an
entity’s internal controls.
– They may peruse documentation to determine if a proposed system
meets the needs of its users.
– They may prepare documentation to:
• Demonstrate how a proposed system would work
• Demonstrate their understanding of a system of internal controls
• Documentation tools help accountants by:
– Organizing very complicated systems into a form that can be more
readily understood.
– Helping new team members understand a pre-existing system.
Two of the most common documentation tools:
Data flow diagrams
Graphical descriptions of the sources and destinations of data. They
show:
– Where data comes from
– How it flows
– The processes performed on it
– Where it goes
Flowcharts
Include three types:
– Document flowcharts describe the flow of documents and
information between departments or units.
– System flowcharts describe the relationship between inputs,
processing, and outputs for a system.
Program flowcharts describe the sequence of logical operations
performed in a computer program
• DATA FLOW DIAGRAMS
• A data flow diagram (DFD) graphically describes the flow of data within an
organization. It is used to:
– Document existing systems
– Plan and design new systems
• A data flow diagram consists of four basic elements:
– Data sources and destinations
– Data flows
– Transformation processes
– Data stores
DATA FLOW DIAGRAMS
• Every process must have at least one data inflow and at least one
data outflow.
• Data flows should always be labeled. The exception is a data flow
moving into or out of a data store.
• Notice that each process in the DFD is numbered sequentially.

• FLOWCHARTS
• A flowchart is an analytical technique that describes some aspect of an
information system in a clear, concise, and logical manner.
• Flowcharts use a set of standard symbols to depict processing procedures
and the flow of data.
• Most flowcharts are now drawn using a software program such as Visio.
Microsoft and Power Point are also used.
• FLOWCHARTS
• There are four types of flowcharting symbols:
• Input/output symbols
• Input/output symbols indicate the type of device or media that
provides input to or records output from a process.
• FLOWCHARTS
• There are four types of flowcharting symbols:
• Input/output symbols
• Processing symbols
• Processing symbols indicate the type of device used to process the
data or whether the data is processed manually.
FLOWCHARTS
There are four types of flowcharting symbols:
Input/output symbols
Processing symbols
Storage symbols
Storage symbols indicate the type of device used to store data while
the system is not using it.
FLOWCHARTS
There are four types of flowcharting symbols:
Input/output symbols
Processing symbols
Storage symbols
Flow and miscellaneous symbols
• Flow and miscellaneous symbols may indicate:
– The flow of data and goods
– The beginning or end of the flowchart
– The location of a decision
– An explanatory note
