Doing Business on the Globalised Networked Economy: Technology and Business Challenges for Accounting Information Systems

Abstract

In this chapter the authors present a set of challenges that are to be faced by accounting information systems. More specifically, these include the support of interoperable accounting processes, for virtual and networked enterprises and for open-book accounting as well as the creation of novel interface metaphors that will automate and increase the usability of accounting information systems, and last but not least the provision of integrated e-accounting platforms.
