It also covers the fundamental concepts of accounting information system development, as well as the basic principles of system analysis, design, and implementation. The book focuses on the systematic analysis and design of the main subsystems of accounting information systems—accounting, fixed assets, payroll, purchasing and accounts payable, sales and accounts receivable, and inventory and inventory management—from a management perspective. Each subsystem includes a comprehensive analysis of business processes, functional analysis, data flow analysis, data dictionary, and the design of related database table structures, up to the creation of the physical database model. The analysis and design processes and content are simple yet complete, making them feasible and suitable for development using popular database development platforms. The book introduces relevant analysis and design methods and provides case software and electronic documents for download (http://www.tupwk.com.cn). This book can serve as a textbook or teaching reference for accounting informatization and information system analysis and design courses in universities and colleges for majors such as accounting, financial management, auditing, economic management, information management, and computer applications. It can also be used as teaching reference materials for postgraduate students in related fields, as well as a reference book for managers and technical personnel engaged in information system analysis, design, and development.
