This study empirically examines the possible relationships between the accounting majors in-depth exposure of database knowledge and their willingness to expand their knowledge beyond the required Accounting Information Systems (AIS) course by taking additional classes leading to a Management Information Systems (MIS) minor. Our empirical results suggest that in-depth database exposure in AIS classes has a positive impact on accounting students interest in pursuing an MIS minor. The findings of this study encourage the collaboration between MIS and accounting faculty in developing AIS courses to include in-depth database knowledge content. Such collaboration can benefit both accounting and MIS programs.

ABSTRACT The prevailing model for accounting information systems (AIS) courses is decades old and needs to be modernized for cutting-edge technologies and demands for information services. New graduates in accounting require new perspectives and training to enter what is becoming an important subdiscipline in accounting that prepares accountants to serve effectively as data analysts, IT auditors, and participants in systems development. One hurdle preventing the adoption of these roles is a disconnect between AIS education and AIS practice. This article identifies relevant professional competencies and proposes some corresponding actions by the academy to combine accounting, management information systems, and computer technology.

The business environment has evolved over time, so that it has become a dynamic and hyper-competitive environment. The business environment presents many risks. The purpose of the risks is to highlight the success or failure in the business, because some risks are inevitable and some risks can be controlled by companies. For a company to succeed and survive in a dynamic and hyper-competitive business environment, they must find and introduce radical and incremental innovations simultaneously. Over time, many small, medium and big companies have succeeded in implementing accounting information systems, in order to make their activity more efficient. Investing in accounting systems has a positive impact on the company because they improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization, as well as increase the performance. Increasing efficiency and effectiveness means better management and dissemination of information within the company, so that employees have easier access to information and based on them to take the best decisions. The research method used was quantitative using the questionnaire based on which we identified the main advantages and disadvantages of using accounting information systems, as well as the influence of these systems on the organization and the criteria underlying the choice of these systems. The most relevant results we obtained through our research were: accounting information systems offer both advantages and disadvantages, these systems improve the performance of the organization, and the criteria for choosing these systems depends most on the speed of implementation of the systems.

Abstract The accounting information systems (AIS) discipline lacks a sense of identity relative to the closely related field of management information systems (MIS). By identifying how AIS is evolving and what makes AIS unique from MIS, the field can gain a better understanding of its importance. We analyze a sample of syllabi for the introductory AIS and MIS courses, focusing on similarities and differences between the AIS and MIS fields as reflected in the topical coverage choices made by AIS and MIS educators. We also investigate the effects of the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on topical coverage in the introductory AIS course. The findings reveal that while AIS courses have a unique focus on transaction processing and internal controls relative to MIS courses, more technical topics such as hardware and software issues and IS solutions are covered more commonly in MIS courses rather than AIS courses. We also find that AIS topical coverage has changed since the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, with a more pronounced focus on internal control and security compared to the pre-Sarbanes Oxley era. The key contribution of this paper is in providing empirical evidence in support of the “intersection view” of AIS, which asserts that while AIS and MIS have some topics in common there are also many issues unique to each field.
