In today’s fast-paced business world, information has become the lifeblood of every organization, and accounting information plays a central role in steering business decisions. The effective management of such information calls for a systematic approach that blends accounting principles with modern technology. An Accounting Information System (AIS) serves this very purpose—integrating people, processes, and technology to provide accurate, timely, and relevant data for informed decision-making and organizational success.
This book, “Accounting Information System”, has been meticulously designed to provide students, academicians, and professionals with a clear and practical understanding of AIS concepts, tools, and applications. The content is aligned with the evolving demands of the business world, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on training in modern accounting software.
The text is organized into five comprehensive units:
- Unit 1 introduces the concept, need, and scope of AIS, its components, and its critical role in business decision-making, along with internal control mechanisms for fraud prevention and risk management.
- Unit 2 explains E-Business and E-Commerce fundamentals, types, business models, advantages and disadvantages, and the significance of ERP systems in AIS.
- Unit 3 offers a step-by-step introduction to Tally Prime, covering installation, company creation, ledger setup, and basic transaction recording.
- Unit 4 explores advanced Tally features such as voucher entries, bank reconciliation, GST accounting, inventory management, report generation, and data security.
- Unit 5 focuses on report configuration, customization, financial and analytical reporting in Tally, and examines emerging trends such as cloud-based accounting, artificial intelligence, and blockchain in accounting.
Throughout the book, emphasis has been placed on both conceptual clarity and practical application. Illustrations, examples, and real-world scenarios have been integrated to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
