taught in a fun way.
On the way to school, I was thinking about everything that you, the students, already know in relation to
the topics covered in previous classes and I thought it would be good to briefly revisit those topics
starting from organizations and their importance in people's lives.
The teacher asks: did you think that the life of each and every one of us unfolds immersed
in organizations, we are surrounded by them. Look, it tells you, the people, me, you,

the teacher. We also saw the classification of organizations: non-profit, and for-profit
of profit and in this category we find the companies and if you remember all the organizations
they have certain elements in common:

Information.
All of them must be organized, coordinated, managed by those who lead the
organizations. In order for organizations to achieve their objectives, it is necessary that they have
knowledge and this is obtained through the information that allows me to know
how the organization works, how it develops its activities, if the goals are being achieved
Oh no. The information, as we already saw, must be useful for making decisions and exercising control of the
organization.
And this information is provided, as we have seen, by the information system itself, which is
in charge of processing the data that enters the system, processing that can be manual or
electronic, to obtain as a result this information that the entity needs and that is going to

pay their employees, etc.
Thus, in the execution of these basic operations, various areas of the
organization: the marketing sector, the purchasing sector, the finance sector, the resources sector
humans and all of them need information and generate information to be able to operate.
Thus, the transactions that companies carry out with their external environment: Clients,
suppliers, consumers, must be registered according to certain methods and techniques that
allow obtaining information related to the economic and financial situation of the organization.
Therefore, the organization has an integrated information system as we have already seen,

All these elements make up the information system that will also be responsible for

that capture the data, process it, and obtain useful information for decision making, is useful
from a support, from a system that allows you to obtain that data through a method, of rules and
determined norms, data that arises from the transactions carried out by the organization in the
development of its activities to achieve its goals.
Therefore, the information system of an organization is composed of a smaller system,

by people who carry out different activities that require information related to the
economic and financial situation of the entity, called accounting information, which is produced
through the accounting information system, which processes the data that arises from transactions
that affect organizations.
An example of a transaction would be the purchase of household items from a store for which
I must pay a price, transaction, or commercial operation that is recorded or reflected in the invoice that

One can observe the relationship between information systems and accounting information systems. The

Now, you may be wondering how to obtain that useful accounting information to make
decisions. Through something called accounting process which develops through several
stages.

These data are classified, organized, and calculations are performed. All these operations make up the
process in itself, and to carry it out, the accounting information system makes use of
techniques and methods in that processing, which we will look at in detail later,
which will allow to record the transactions, the operations that the entity carries out, with a
certain criteria, order, organization, in order for accounting information to be clear,
understandable by all who make use of it, by all its users interested in knowing the
economic and financial situation of the entity. As we saw last class, processing

From the information in general and accounting as well, it is currently done to a greater extent at
through electronic data processing, but it can also be done manually,
or combining both. It happens that currently organizations manage a large amount,
large volumes of information that need to be processed and recorded in real time, is
to say at the moment when the transactions occur, the operations, in order to be able to have the
information as objective, true, verifiable, and quantifiable as possible that allows for decision making

decisions and carry out the control of the activities that the organization performs and even
projects towards the future by planning their tasks, with the same goal as always, to achieve their
proposed objectives.

If we take an imaginary and open look inside an organization, from the


we will see the perspective of its organizational structure, for example, in a commercial company,
that there are different hierarchical levels and different functions: marketing, purchasing,
finance, human resources, etc. These functions are carried out or executed by those who
they perform and occupy positions at different hierarchical levels. Thus we will find, for example,
the marketing manager with his various areas of responsibility or competencies:
advertising and marketing departments, department sales, department of
planning. And each of these departments will in turn have the heads or managers, and therefore
Ultimately, at the operational level, the employees.

In this example of a functional area of the company, it can be analyzed, relating to what
we have seen so far that those responsible for these hierarchical levels need
information to fulfill their tasks, activities, and responsibilities, the manager, the head of
departments, the same employees. Each area of the organization constitutes itself a

how the organization's information system is nourished, and what circulates through the different levels
hierarchical and the different functional areas.

10
Lesson Plan: ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Recapping then, organizations conceived as social systems carry out


their activities to achieve their objectives. To do this, they need to have knowledge about
how activities are being developed, and for that reason they need to have useful information,
to make decisions and carry out control of their operations, and to know the economic situation
and financial of the organization, in order to achieve its goals. This information is provided by the
information system of the organization that operates in the different functional areas and for that
it has a support, the accounting information system that processes all transactions
that arise from the development of the activities that the organization highlights, through its
basic operations of purchases, payments, sales, and collections.
And we said that this accounting information allows for decision making, enables control, and provides knowledge of

financial and economic situation of the organization. If this is the case, there will be different people
interested in knowing this information, as they will need it to be able to decide regarding
various issues or situations.
Therefore, these people are referred to as users of accounting information.
If we think a little about the organization, about those who manage it and work in it, and also
we consider the external environment with which the organization interacts, these users will be the
the same, or are they different? Will they need the same type of accounting information? All the
Accounting information is provided to all users, or is there certain information that is only
It circulates within the organization.? What do you think, asks the teacher.
Some students will say that surely some kind of information will not be made known to
everyone and another yes. The teacher explains that first of all the information processed by

of a determined time, to which that information refers. They will also make use of that
information the managers of each area, and the heads of the departments that comprise it, including
the employees. For example, an employee who wishes to request a raise will want to
to know if the company is in a position to give it to you, based on its financial situation, is
to talk about the financial resources available, for example, in situations of recession or
economic crisis, it is unlikely that I will be able to get any salary increase.
On the other hand, there are people outside the entity, but with whom it interacts, who surely
They will be interested in knowing certain information.
For example, customers, suppliers, the State through its revenue collection agencies
(the AFIP, ARBA, etc.), among others.
Thus, we can present this that we have outlined in a simple diagram.

To recap, we said that there are different users of accounting information: internal and
externals, which have different information needs. Therefore, the will be different
reports that are prepared for each of them.
So we have:

12
Lesson Plan: ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS

External users: Those individuals with whom the entity interacts and who require
specific information and for whom the organization issues the so-called statements
Basic accounting, to be presented to third parties outside the entity, but which are also of
internal use within the organization (managers, administrators, board of directors)
owners.)
Among the external users we find:
The State through its different control and collection agencies that
requires information to know if the entity is fulfilling its obligations
taxes and social security (pension, health insurance)
Example: Afip, ARBA
The clients.
The suppliers, to know if the company has resources to make payments

Therefore, all these external users of the entity will be interested in obtaining information.
that the organization issues in the form of what we have called basic accounting statements, and
that show structured accounting information in a formal, organized, and synthetic manner and
referring to the economic and financial situation of the entity, valued in currency, in pesos

Generally, all organizations have a lifespan, established at the time of

presented to external users unrelated to the entity and interested in the information they provide, useful
so that they can make decisions, not forgetting that these Financial Statements are also used by
internal users

13
Class Plan: ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS

The teacher continues explaining now that also the people themselves who work in the
organizations require and use accounting information and are
internal users:
The owners of the organization
The managers of the different functional areas
The employees

Everyone is interested in obtaining information to make decisions. The owners of


to know the profitability of the business, the managers to understand how they develop
activities, or if the production sector is being efficient in the use of its scarce resources.
The employees too, according to the example we saw earlier, are users of the
accounting information.
But likewise, the owners, the board of a company, the managers, for example, also
from the internal use management accounting reports exclusive to them, they are also users of
the so-called financial statements, which are several and which will surely each one be seen next year
from them and analyze their composition. And as I was saying, these states are also used by
these users, as we have seen, reflect the economic and financial situation of the entity to
a given date, with which the information it presents also allows its internal users
make decisions and know, for example among other things if in the development of their activities,
the business yielded profits or losses, which will allow them to evaluate what was done with it
planned, compare and make necessary corrections, or take some kind of
decision related to producing new goods, or acquiring new vehicles to distribute them
products to their customers, etc.

All of this we have developed converges on the importance of having knowledge about
how organizations work since we are all immersed in them, from the
different roles that we play and that you will surely play in the near future, for
example, working in a company, studying at a university, etc.
And knowledge is obtained through information, and all organizations need
accounting information, and non-accounting information, since accounting information is generated within the
organization through an accounting information system, which is a support of the system of
global information.
But they must keep in mind that there is external information to the organizations that is also
it is important to possess, and it comes from her external environment, and it relates to issues of the

14
Lesson Plan: ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS

labor market, of the economic and fiscal policies that affect the organization and that
Those who manage it must not be unaware, as they influence the decisions that may lead to
take.
For example, a tax resolution from the AFIP, which creates a new tax, affects the
future decisions made by those who manage the organization, as they will need to allocate
financial resources that were not planned to meet the payment of the new tax.

This is how a company's information system is not only fed by information


accounting obtained through the organization's information system but also from
non-accounting information but that is important and comes from the environment, which is necessary
to influence the development of the entity's activities, or to be relevant in complementing a
decision making for example, knowing the prices of the products of the companies
competitors, to adjust one's own or not, if necessary.

The information is therefore relevant for decision making and the control of activities.
of the entity, and to understand the economic and financial situation of the organizations, but to
To achieve this objective, accounting information must meet certain requirements in order to be useful.
These requirements are:

Verifiability: Accounting information must be able to be corroborated through the


coincidence between the accounting records and the archived documentation that supports them
records.
Veracity: The information must be true, reliable, in accordance with reality, that is, not
to be falsified., not to contain false data.
Reliability: It means that the information must be prepared and processed according to criteria,
techniques, uniform standards, and that they are always applied as a rule so that the
information is credible.
Integrity: The information must be complete, meaning it should contain all of the
indispensable and significant data that allows me to make appropriate decisions, without omitting
no data that could be important. It must include all its essential parts.
For example, a head of the accounting department requests a report regarding all the vehicles that
it makes up the fleet of an organization, and which are used to carry out the distribution of its
products, those that are currently in use, and those that are not, with their corresponding value in
pesos.

15
Lesson Plan: ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Complete information shows the date each vehicle was acquired, its description, the
import paid, and also the corresponding terminations, that is to say those who have already stopped
provide service, due to wear and tear or because they have been replaced by others. The date of
disaffection, the monetary value. In summary, none of this data should be omitted if one wants to

required, in order to be useful. For example, if the sales department does not have the information to
time regarding the credit limits that the organization has decided to grant to a client,
It may happen that I carry out the sale on credit for an amount that exceeds such authorization, with the
risk of not being able to collect it in the short term.

This is how accounting information must meet these requirements that will make it useful for the
decision-making and management control, which is required by the various users of the
same.

Immediately thereafter, the teacher revisits all that has been presented, including the prior knowledge of the

students, to know and check what they have been able to capture and learn regarding the contents
presented. With which, it invites its students to do together with the guidance of the teacher a
synthesis of what has been presented, saying.

Thus concludes this long process that takes place in the accounting information system that forms
part of a larger system: the organization's information system, which allows for providing
useful information for decision-making at all levels and functions of it, and that
as we said, it begins with the data collection through the different documents that
reflect the transactions carried out by the organization in the development of its activities, the
which are classified, ordered, calculated, and recorded according to techniques and methods, that

statements will be useful for decision making and control, and will be presented and
required by the different users of accounting information and presented in the form
basic financial statements on one hand, to be presented to third parties and on the other hand, the
Management accounting reports, for internal use only.
The teacher, having checked what was learned, invites the students to develop an activity of
fixation through a didactic game called 'the knowledge board' to verify that the
concepts have become clear, and new knowledge has been able to relate to the
