This book presents a collection of original research papers focused on the relationship between
information technology and accounting and control models. The book discusses the importance of
establishing a synergetic relationship between new information technologies (ERP BI web-based
technology data mining XBRL etc.) and new or renewed accounting models and tools
(performance indicators prevision and simulation models accounting models for public
administration etc.) in order to enhance an organization's capability to manage information
and make valuable decisions. The search for these synergies takes place at all organizational
levels: at a strategic level in order to simulate and forecast behaviors and financial results
at a management level in order to innovate performance measurement and improve value creation
at the operational level in order to improve information quality and the efficiency of the
information process. This book is particularly useful for IS and CFO managers and scholars as
it is based on a selection of the best papers - original double blind reviewed contributions -
presented to the Annual Conference of the Italian Chapter of AIS under the category Accounting
Information Systems.
