CHAPTER 1

THE INFORMATION SYSTEM: AN ACCOUNTANT’S PERSPECTIVE

REVIEW QUESTIONS

1. Operational, operations management, middle management, and top management. Horizontal flows support operation-level tasks. The information is highly detailed about the day-to-day operations. Vertical flows distribute summarized information to managers at all levels, and this information flows upward. Instructions, quotas, and budgets also flow downward.
2. Data are facts that are collected in a “raw” form and made meaningful through processes such as sorting, aggregating, classifying, mathematically manipulating, and summarizing. The meaningful data is considered to be information. Information Systems are the formal procedures by which data are collected, stored and processed into the system and distributed to users.
3. AISs process financial transactions and certain nonfinancial transactions that directly affect the processing financial transactions. The external financial reporting documents of AIS are subject to legal and professional standards. Consequently, management and accountants have greater legal responsibility for AIS applications than for MIS applications. The MIS processes nonfinancial transactions that are outside the scope of the AIS. MIS applications expand the information set provided to such areas as production, sales, marketing, and inventory management. MIS often draws from and builds on data from the AIS.
4. Revenue cycle, expenditure cycle, and conversion cycle.
5. Reports used by management, which the company is not obligated by law, regulation, or contract to provide. These are often used for internal problem-solving issues rather than by external constituents.
6. Relevance, accuracy, completeness, summarization, and timeliness.
7. Relevance and efficiency.
8. Data attribute (field), record, file, and database.
9. Storage, retrieval, and deletion.
10. Feedback is output that is sent back to the system as a source of data. Feedback is useful because it can be used to initiate or adjust the system processes.
11. A. to support the stewardship function of management,

B.to support the decision-making processes of managers, and

1. to support the day-to-day operations of the firm.
2. Stewardship is the responsibility of management to properly utilize the resources of the firm entrusted to them. Information systems provide management with reports to better manage the resources and also provide responsibility reports by which management may be evaluated.
