N2  - "Welcome to the beginning of a journey through the exciting field of accounting information systems. We are very pleased that you have chosen to become another member of our interna tional community of students, accounting professionals, and educators who make this book an integral part of their library as a text and reference. We promise to make the journey through this complex, challenging, and exciting topic as easy and pleasant as possible. These demanding ropics are tackled in a conversational and relaxed tone, rather than stilted, technical language. At the same time, the text fully explores the integrated nature of the topic with all of its founda-tions in information technology, business processes, strategic management, security, and internal control. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your guide on this journey.

Before beginning, let's discuss two key ideas that inspire the story in the text. First, the accountant is defined as an information management and business measurement professional. Second, information systems consist of integral parts working together that allow the organi-zation to progress and move forward. These two philosophies are briefly attended to before moving on to addressing the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) by users of this book." --Preface
