Strengthening Information and Control Systems

The book "Strengthening Information and Control Systems" offers a comprehensive collection of original research papers that explore the interplay between information technology and accounting, as well as control models. It emphasizes the importance of establishing a synergistic relationship between modern information technologies such as ERP, Business Intelligence, web-based technologies, data analysis, and XBRL, and innovative or revised accounting models and tools. The goal is to enhance an organization's ability to manage information and make valuable decisions. The synergies are examined at all organizational levels: strategically for simulating and forecasting behaviors and financial outcomes, at the management level for innovating performance evaluation and improving value creation, and at the operational level for increasing information quality and the efficiency of information processes. This book is particularly aimed at professionals in the fields of information systems and financial management, as well as researchers, and is based on a selection of the best original and double-blind peer-reviewed contributions presented at the annual conference of the Italian chapter of AIS.
