Summary Accounting Information SystemsChapter 1 – Accounting Information Systems: an overview
System: a set of two or more interrelated components that interact
to achieve a goal. Most systems are composed of smaller
subsystems that support the larger system.
Goal conflict: occurs when a subsystem’s goals are inconsistent
with the goals of another subsystem or with the system as a whole.
Goal congruence: occurs when a subsystem achieves its goals
while contributing to the organization’s overall goal. The larger the
organization and the more complicated the system, the more
difficult to achieve goal congruence.
Data: facts that are collected, recorded, stores and processed by an
information system.
Information: data that have been organized and processed to
provide meaning and improve decision-making. Users make better
decisions as the quantity and quality of information increase.
Information overload: exceeding the amount of information a
human mind can absorb and process, resulting in a decline in
decision-making quality and an increase in the cost of providing
information.
Information technology (IT): The computers and other electronic
devices used to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data.
Value of information: the benefit produced by information less the
cost of producing it. Benefits of information include reduced
uncertainty, improved decisions and improved ability to plan and
schedule activities.

making or confirms or correct prior
expectations.

activities and tasks that are preformed by a person, a computer or a
machine that help accomplish a specific organizational goal.
Transaction: an agreement between two entities to exchange
goods or services or any other event that can be measured in
economic terms by an organization.
Transaction processing: the process of capturing transaction
data, processing it, storing it for later use and producing information
output, such as managerial report or a financial statement.
Give-get exchange: transactions that happen a great many times,
such as giving up cash to get inventory from a supplier and giving
employees a paycheck in exchange for their labor.
