German corporations are characterized as having been adaptable in the face of numerous traumatizing events during the twentieth century. This article explores how firms adapted their accounting information systems during the hyperinflation of the 1920s. It suggests that responses to the crisis focused on system elements identified as key to continuing operations. Initially, firms amended selling and purchasing arrangements, modified financial reporting, and shifted managerial reporting to nonmonetary information. As inflation accelerated, human resources were diverted to maintaining critical functions, especially those related to remunerating labor. While some elements of accounting systems fell into disrepair, there were also examples of innovation.

ABSTRACT The verification of Information Technology (IT) controls is a core responsibility of IT auditors. This case places the student in the role of an IT auditor assigned to test the operating effectiveness of a specific IT general control: user access management. In addition to learning about IT controls, the case introduces several Excel functions such as VLOOKUP, MATCH, INDEX, and various text functions. The student documents the results of the IT controls tests by completing a testing matrix and writing a memo. General controls, user access management, and Excel applications are all topics taught in Accounting Information Systems (AIS) and Audit courses. As such, instructors can use this case at the undergraduate or graduate level in an IT Audit, Accounting Information Systems, or Audit class.

This support was backed up with the moderating variable of accountants' experience, experience in this case managed to help accountants predict the coming situations and help the organization overcome the obstacles based on their previous experiences in similar situations. Study recommended the necessity of activating risk management strategies by organizations when facing crises and epidemics

The REA model was first conceptualized in a paper for the 1982 The Accounting Review as a framework for building accounting systems in a shared data environment, both within enterprises and between enterprises. The model's core feature was an object pattern consisting of two mirror-image constellations that represented semantically the input and output components of a business process. The REA acronym derives from that pattern's structure, which consisted of economic Resources, economic Events, and economic Agents. Simultaneous with its research publication, REA began to be used as a framework for teaching accounting information systems (AIS), originally at Michigan State University and then gradually at other colleges and universities. In its extended form, the REA model integrates the teaching of accounting transaction structures, commitment and business policy specification, business process engineering, and enterprise value chain construction. As of 2003, REA modeling is used in a variety of AIS courses and featured in a variety of AIS textbooks, both in the United States and internationally.

ABSTRACT Forty-six academics and practitioners participated in the second Journal of Information Systems Conference to discuss data analytics and Big Data from an accounting information systems perspective. The panels discussed the evolving role of technology in accounting, privacy within the domain of Big Data, and people and Big Data. Throughout all three panels, several topics emerged that impact all areas of accounting—developing enhanced analytical and data handling skills; evaluating privacy, security requirements, and risks; thinking creatively; and assessing the threat of automation to the accounting profession. Other topics were specific to a segment of the profession, such as the growing demand for privacy compliance audits and the curriculum adjustments necessary to develop data analytic skills. This commentary synthesizes and expands the discussions of the conference panels and suggests potential areas for future research.

The last decade has seen phenomenal growth in the use of technology and information systems in the field of accounting. In response to this change, many colleges and universities have added a concentration in Accounting Information Systems (AIS) to their accounting programs. This paper describes the processes followed by one comprehensive university to introduce and later revise an AIS concentration program. A surprising finding of the revision process was an unexpected role of the AIS courses in the alumnis career development, -- a finding which was uncovered only by an innovative investigative step of the review and revision process. In light of the results, a model is offered to assist other institutions in improving their curriculum development (and review) process.

The purpose of this paper is to identify the impact and benefits of the latest information technologies on Accounting Information Systems (AIS). Taking into account the numerous papers related to new technologies and their application in the accounting profession within Industry 4.0, and conducted survey about perception of practitioners in Republic of North Macedonia, this paper summarizes the characteristics and key benefits of some of the new technologies for the functioning of AIS in the digital age. First of all, the evolution of AIS is elaborated, based on theoretical and empirical analysis of the accounting process from the appearance of the first AIS up to nowadays’ services and techniques available for supporting the accounting function. The first technology to be elaborated is Big Data and its potential to change the business landscape, especially in the field of automating operation processes, customer engagements, and predictive decision-making process. Secondly, the Blockchain Technology as an example of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), which adoption brings new possibilities in eliminating or redefining the role of entities external to the company. Cloud Computing i.e. Cloud Accounting is the third technology which is elaborated in this paper through the services it offers on the cloud, especially the way AIS process, store and backup the sensitive and confidential data. Last but not least, Artificial Intelligence (AI), a technology that could change the professional services, the need, and opportunities that are provided for a solution to the current accounting issues. In summary, taking into account the relevant literature and the perception of the respondents-practitioners, increased use of these technologies is necessary because their application reduces costs; increases transparency and confidence in information; flexibility, i.e. no time and space restrictions on their use, etc., which is especially useful in the current state of Pandemic, caused by the virus COVID-19.

Research methods. General and special methods of scientific knowledge were used: system approach and system analysis (in determining the essence and basic elements of the assessment of information flows); historical and logical method (in the study of the formation, development and development of theoretical and methodological provisions for the formation and implementation of information accounting systems); analysis and synthesis (when developing proposals for the implementation of accounting information systems in the practical activities of the enterprise); monographic (when assessing the results of adaptation of employees of the enterprise, who should be responsible for the implementation of the platform). Research results. The great importance of the obtained theoretical and practical developments on the formation and use of information accounting systems as the basis for the formation of an enterprise information resource for the development of accounting theory and the introduction of its provisions into the practical activities of business entities has been proved. A number of practical situations that may accompany the implementation of information accounting systems for information support of effective management are stated. Scientific novelty. Review of the possibility of choosing an information platform on which the collection, processing and transmission of information will be carried out in order to make management decisions. Practical significance. The necessity of introducing accounting information systems at the enterprise is substantiated with the prediction of a number of methodological measures for the division of information, depending on its discreteness.
