The role of the accountant is changing, as developments in technology alter the ways in which information is prepared and analysed. This Research Handbook addresses the use of both financial and non-financial information for planning, decision-making and control in organisations. Written by experts in the field, the book uses comprehensive literature reviews, empirical fieldwork and theoretical developments to provide an overview of research in this important area. It includes the following:
- Information for controlling and managing behaviour and performance
- Novel and contemporary fieldwork studies that explore the use of accounting and information
- The use of accounting and non-accounting information to support managerial and investment decisions
- Literature reviews on accounting and information systems, including on Cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Technological developments, the use of AI and concerns over the future of the accounting profession
- Planning and design in information system research, including work on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems
Comprehensive in scope, the Research Handbook on Accounting and Information Systems will be indispensable for researchers, academics and students of accounting, information systems, economics and finance, business and management, and innovation and technology. Business managers and accountants will also be able to apply it to their own professions.
