Accounting Information Systems: An Overview © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 1 of 43
2.
INTRODUCTION • Questions
to be addressed in this chapter include: – What is the meaning of system, data, and information? – What is an accounting information system (AIS)? – Why is the AIS an important topic to study? – What is the role of the AIS in the value chain? – How does the AIS provide information for decision making? – What are the basic strategies and strategic positions an organization can pursue? © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 2 of 43
3.
SYSTEMS, DATA, AND
INFORMATION • A system is: – A set of interrelated components – That interact – To achieve a goal © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 3 of 43
4.
SYSTEMS, DATA, AND
INFORMATION • Most systems are composed of smaller subsystems . . . • . . . And vice versa! © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 4 of 43
5.
SYSTEMS, DATA, AND
INFORMATION • Every organization has goals. – The susbsystems should be designed to maximize achievement of the organization’s goals – Even to the detriment of the subsystem itself – EXAMPLE: The production department (a subsystem) of a company might have to forego its goal of staying within its budget in order to meet the organization’s goal of delivering product on time. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 5 of 43
6.
SYSTEMS, DATA, AND
INFORMATION • Goal conflict occurs when the activity of a subsystem is not consistent with another subsystem or with the larger system. • Goal congruence occurs when the subsystem’s goals are in line with the organization’s goals. • The larger and more complicated a system, the more difficult it is to achieve goal congruence. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 6 of 43
7.
SYSTEMS, DATA, AND
INFORMATION • The systems concept encourages integration (i.e., minimizing the duplication of recording, storing, reporting and processing). • Data are facts that are collected, recorded, stored, and processed by an information system. • Organizations collect data about: – Events that occur – Resources that are affected by those events – Agents who participate in the events © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 7 of 43
8.
SYSTEMS, DATA, AND
INFORMATION • Information is different from data. • Information is data that have been organized and processed to provide meaning to a user. • Usually, more information and better information translates into better decisions. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 8 of 43
9.
SYSTEMS, DATA, AND
INFORMATION • However, when you get more information than you can effectively assimilate, you suffer from information overload. – Example: Final exams week! • When you’ve reached the overload point, the quality of decisions declines while the costs of producing the information increases. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 9 of 43
10.
SYSTEMS, DATA, AND
INFORMATION Benefits of information - Cost of producing information Value of information Benefits of information may include: • Reduction of uncertainty • Improved decisions • Improved ability to plan and schedule activities © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 10 of 43
11.
SYSTEMS, DATA, AND
INFORMATION Benefits of information - Cost of producing information Value of information Costs may include time and resources spent: • Collecting data • Processing data • Storing data • Distributing information to users © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 11 of 43
12.
SYSTEMS, DATA, AND
INFORMATION Benefits of information - Cost of producing information Value of information Costs and benefits of information are often difficult to quantify, but you need to try when you’re making decisions about whether to provide information. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 12 of 43
13.
SYSTEMS, DATA, AND
INFORMATION • Characteristics that make information useful: – Relevance It reduces uncertainty by helping you predict what will happen or confirm what already has happened. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 13 of 43
14.

THE AIS AND
CORPORATE STRATEGY • Porter also argues that companies must choose a strategic position among three choices: – Variety-based strategic position – Needs-based strategic position • Serve most or all of the needs of a particular group of customers in a target market. • EXAMPLE: The original Farm Bureau-based insurance companies provided a portfolio of insurance and financial services tailored to the specific needs of farmers. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 78 of 43

THE AIS AND
CORPORATE STRATEGY • Choosing a strategic position is important because it helps a company focus its efforts as opposed to trying to be everything to everybody. – EXAMPLE: A radio station that tries to play all types of music will probably fail. • It’s critical to design the organization’s activities so they reinforce one another in achieving the selected strategic position. The result is synergy, which is difficult for competitors to imitate. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 81 of 43
82.
THE AIS AND
CORPORATE STRATEGY • The growth of the Internet has profoundly affected the way value chain activities are performed: – Inbound and outbound logistics can be streamlined for products that can be digitized, like books and music. – The Internet allows companies to cut costs, which impacts strategy and strategic position. – Because the Internet is available to everyone, intense price competition can result. The outcome may be that many companies shift from low-cost to product-differentiation strategies. – The Internet may impede access-based strategic positions. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 82 of 43
83.
THE AIS AND
CORPORATE STRATEGY • The AIS should help a company adopt and maintain its strategic position. – Requires that data be collected about each activity. – Requires the collection and integration of both financial and nonfinancial data. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 83 of 43
