Features

Enhancements in the Eleventh Edition

 

The eleventh edition has been revised and rewritten to incorporate recent developments, while retaining the features that have made prior editions easy to use. Specific changes include:

 

1.      Increased focus on the COSO-ERM model.

2.      More coverage of the COBIT framework.

3.      Updated discussion of computer fraud techniques.

4.      Update discussion of information security countermeasures. 

5.      Additional Excel and Access exercises.

6.      New end-of-chapter discussion questions and problems.

 

Pearson Custom Database Program

Romney will be available immediately in the Pearson Custom Database Program so that professors who teach a flexible course have a flexible solution.  Further, alternate versions of Chapters 15-17 are available, which highlight the two other competing notations for your classroom.  Information on how to create a custom book will be in a card in the front of every free copy.

Integrated Case Study

 

Each chapter begins with an integrated case that introduces key concepts and topics and identifies several key issues or problems that you should be able to solve after mastering the material presented in that chapter. The case is referenced throughout the chapter and the chapter summary presents solutions to the problems and issues raised in the case.

 

Focus Boxes and Real-World Examples

 

Focus Boxes and real-world examples are available throughout the text to help you understand how companies are using the latest IT developments to improve their AIS.

 

Hands-On Excel and Access

 

Hands-on Excel and Access exercises in many chapters have been included to help students hone their computer skills. Many of these exercises are based on “how-to” tutorials that appeared in recent issues of the Journal of Accountancy. This introduces them to the wealth of IT-related knowledge that is available in the professional literature.

 

Comprehensive Glossary

 

A comprehensive glossary located at the back of the book makes it easy to look up the definition of the various technical terms used in the text. Students will need to understand the “language of IT” in order to effectively audit, use, manage, or sell consulting ideas to information systems professionals.

 

This text is available for personalization in the PHCBR custom database program.  Select only the chapters you require or supplement with recommended case studies all under one cover.  CLICK HERE to go directly to the PHCBR book-build site or visit our product page for additional information at pearsoncustom.com/business.
