This study investigates management's use of decision aids within the context of an accounting information system of a late 19th century American printing firm. Our findings suggest that the use of decision aids by management transformed traditional accounting techniques and the cost accounting system into an intricate accounting information system by 1880. These decision aids allowed managers to manipulate accounting information to support decisions involving pricing, cost allocation and estimation, profitability assessment, management of receivables, and inventory control. The findings shed new light on the early work of Alexander Hamilton Church on the issue of idle time accounting and raises questions about the uniform costing movement in the American printing industry.

As the system of records that a business keeps to provide financial information, AIS has based its design on some fundamental principles. An accounting system is comprised of accounting records and a series of processes and procedures assigned to staff, volunteers, and/or outside professionals, which traditionally includes source documents, special journals, subsidiary journals and general journals. In recent years, because of the development of IT industry, manual-based accounting information system has been replaced by AIS. AIS brings with a set of new problems. The internal controls that have been put into place for a manual system to help the internal auditor cannot fully prevent or minimize the possibility of errors or fraud that come with the computerized systems. Therefore the old controls must be modified for the new system and new controls must be put in. Only then can the internal auditor ensure that the number of errors that occur within the system be minimized or even eliminated.
