Abstract The article studies the literary foundations and contemporary issues in computerized accounting information systems (AIS). It also focuses attention on the assessment of the effectiveness of computerized AIS. Practical implications of AIS design and implementation are investigated through the use of case analysis, a short discussant paper and a relational database project or a written research proposal. Each accounting student is made to select one article from the "Measuring Effectiveness" section from some selected bibliography. There are two discussant papers in the assigned reading materials to serve as guidelines for the assignment. Each student selects a business function like purchasing, marketing, personnel, accounts receivable or payable, in which management often makes ad hoc inquiries. Then they identify and analyze several of those inquiry-types and develop a modest database using a desktop computer software package that accommodates ad hoc management manipulation. An in-class demonstration provides evidence of the successful completion of the assignment.
