Accounting Information Systems Flowchart Symbols

What are Information Systems Flowchart Symbols

Accounting Information system is a combination of software and hardware, as well as organizational support. Information system - it is not only the software and computers with network equipment, but also a list of instructions and standards which can be notated using Accounting information systems flowchart symbols. All information systems can be divided into information retrieval and data processing systems. Data Flow model is a hierarchical model. Each process can be divided into structural components, that depict by corresponding flowchart symbols, showing the accounting information system in communication with the external environment. The major components of accounting information systems flowchart are: entities, processes, data stores, and data flows. The set of standard accounting information flowchart symbols is intended to show the relationships between the system components. ConceptDraw PRO can help to draw clear accounting information system diagrams using special flowchart symbols.

Design elements - Flowchart

The vector stencils library "Flowchart" contains 26 symbols for drawing the flow charts using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"Flowcharts are used in designing and documenting complex processes or programs. Like other types of diagrams, they help visualize what is going on and thereby help the viewer to understand a process, and perhaps also find flaws, bottlenecks, and other less-obvious features within it. There are many different types of flowcharts, and each type has its own repertoire of boxes and notational conventions. The two most common types of boxes in a flowchart are:
(1) a processing step, usually called activity, and denoted as a rectangular box;
(2) a decision, usually denoted as a diamond.
A flowchart is described as "cross-functional" when the page is divided into different swimlanes describing the control of different organizational units. A symbol appearing in a particular "lane" is within the control of that organizational unit. This technique allows the author to locate the responsibility for performing an action or making a decision correctly, showing the responsibility of each organizational unit for different parts of a single process. ...
Common alternate names include: flowchart, process flowchart, functional flowchart, process map, process chart, functional process chart, business process model, process model, process flow diagram, work flow diagram, business flow diagram. The terms "flowchart" and "flow chart" are used interchangeably." [Flowchart. Wikipedia]
