Principles of Accounting 
(ACC-101)
By 
S. M. Maruf Siddiqe (B1405139)
Accounting Information System 
• Is a subsystem of management 
information system 
• Collects and processes transaction data 
• Communicates financial information to 
decision makers 
• Includes each of the steps in the 
accounting cycle
An accounting information 
system (AIS) consists of: 
• People 
• Procedures 
• Data 
• Software 
• Information technology
Basic Concepts of AIS 
Computerized- 
• Large Business 
organizations use this 
• Works are done with the 
help of software 
• Chances of mistakes are 
less 
Manual- 
• Generally used in small 
organizations 
• Works are done manually 
• More chances of doing 
mistakes
Basic functions of AIS 
• It collects and stores data about activities 
and transactions 
• It processes data into information that is 
useful for making decisions 
• It provides adequate controls to safeguard 
the organization’s assets
Basic Functions 
The data processing cycle consist of four steps- 
1) Data input 
2) Data storage 
3) Data processing 
4) Information output 
The information an AIS provides falls into two main 
categories- 
1) Financial Statements 
2) Managerial Reports
Basic Functions 
The third function of an AIS is to provide 
adequate internal controls to accomplish 
three basic objectives- 
1)Ensure that the information is reliable. 
2)Ensure that business activities are performed 
efficiently. 
3)Safeguard organizational assets.
Subsystems in the AIS
Factors influencing design 
of the AIS
The Accounting Process 
The accounting process starts when an 
economic event is recognized by AIS, which 
records this event as an accounting transaction
Benefits of AIS 
 Businesses use accounting information systems to make their 
accounting activities easier, quicker, and more accurate 
 Allows to safe time of employees and avoid mistakes 
 Implementation of such system requires investment and time to 
be spent on the implementation, however future benefits are 
much higher that the expenses incurred. 
 Helps the company forecast sales, profits, loss 
 Make it easier to compile financial data for use in taxes, payroll, 
and other bookkeeping requirements
THANK YOU!
