Accounting Information Systems Accounting Information Systems (AIS) is basically a subsystem of information that collects, processes, and reports information. AIS is important because of the vital roles that it plays in an organization. In order to achieve goals of the business and objectives, AIS must be accurate and consistent within an organization as well as within each individualized departments. Basically, there are two primary factors that AIS consists of which are financial accounting and managerial accounting.

As for managerial accounting its primary concern is to relay relevant information to users internally within the organization. Some of these users might be managers and some of the departments may be cost accounting, budgeting or systems study. In order for AIS to be successful it will pull information from various subsystems and put it into a data warehouse. The data warehouse is a database that will integrate financial and non financial information so that users and some outside users will have access to the database.
