The accounting system perceived as a credible and reliable source of information about the economic and financial situation of entities operating in the Polish economy and subjected to the accounting law, operates under the conditions defined by cyberspace. The digitization of almost all stages of the work of financial and accounting units as a result of the implementation of many regulations of national and international law has become the cause of threats to the security of publicly available data characterizing the status of economic entities. The widespread use of computer programs to support accounting systemsfavors in a great extent to the limitation of the security of accounting information, despite the obligatory regulation of this area by applicable law. Although today it is difficult to imagine servicing companies' finances without modern technical solutions, one should always remember about the "dark sides" of digitization, which is an element of cyberspace and its consequences for the development of entities in the future."

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.
