Business Information Systems for Accounting Students  offers a more practical approach than the typical accounting information systems textbook.

Providing a contemporary education for undergraduate accounting students, Quinn and Kristandl offer a fresh perspective that is relevant to both UK and international students of computerised accounting, accounting information systems or accounting technology.

Key features of the text include:

• Real life examples with QR codes for easy access on smart devices . Examples are drawn from leading organizations such as Ryanair, Marks and Spencer, SAP and The World Bank.
• Coverage of the features of selected office, accounting and business software
• Mini-cases to show how technology benefits business

"Tracking the relationship between accounting and technology in an ever changing world is no mean feat. Now, this book offers a comprehensive overview of technology- using many real-life examples - to introduce why and how technology matters for today's accountant"

Professor Niels Dechow, EBS Business School, Wiesbaden.
