The major issues in accounting data management, accounting and information systems controls, and accounting for integrated business processes are presented. The subject also highlights the changing role of accounting in an integrated enterprise systems environment ('hybridisation'). SAP enterprise systems are introduced and applied as examples of comprehensive, sophisticated, integrated systems supporting intra- and inter-company processes, and redrawing the lines between accounting and other business functions.
