How to Create Flowcharts for an
Accounting Information System

Accounting information is a system of interrelated processes which represent financial and accounting data, required for decision making. For representing the accounting processes in a visual and easy for perception form are constructed Accounting Flowcharts. For their creation are used special flowchart symbols, this makes Accounting flowcharts understandable for all users of accounting information system and helps them easy understand the sequence of steps involved to accounting processes. But how to create Flowcharts for an Accounting Information System fast and easy? Use of special design software is useful for this. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software extended with Accounting Flowcharts solution is the best for creation accurate Accounting Flowcharts, for documentation and visually communication on how accounting processes work, how each operation is done. Accounting Flowcharts solution is supplied with library of predesigned commonly used vector symbols, Accounting Flowchart templates and samples demonstrating receiving, purchasing, payment, and other accounting processes.

Why Flowchart Important to Accounting Information System?

The Accounting flowchart shows how information flows from source documents through the accounting records. The are based on the accounting procedures or processes. Flowcharts are used to represent accounting information in a system. There are special symbols which are used to create accounting flowcharts. Try conceptdraw flowcharting set of symbols to draw a professional charts.

Accounting 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 DIAGRAM can help to draw clear accounting information system diagrams using special flowchart symbols.

Purchasing Flow Chart. Purchasing Flowchart Example

This sample shows the Purchasing Flow Chart Diagram that displays the money flow in the carbon offset sphere. The carbon offsets are the compensatory measures that the companies make for the carbon emissions. You can see on this sample the groups that have interests in the carbon offsets and the money flow after the carbon offset vendors sold the carbon offsets.

Data Flow Diagram

Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is part of the Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM), which is intended for information systems projection and analysis. Data Flow Diagrams allow graphically to represent the data flows in the information system and analyze the data processing during the structural projection. This type of diagrams lets visually show a work of information system and results of this work, it is often used in connection with human processes and can be displayed as a Workflow diagram. Data Flow Diagram visualizes processes and functions, external entities, data depositories, and data flows connecting these elements and indicating direction and data character. Each of these elements used for DFD has its own graphical notation. There are two notations to draw DFDs - Yourdon & Coad and Gane & Sarson. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM extended with Data Flow Diagrams (DFD) solution from the Software Development area is ideal for designing professional-looking DFDs, which can be then easily exported in various formats.

Database Flowchart Symbols

Data base diagrams describes inter-related data and tables. It describes roles and relationships, internal and external dependencies, data exchange conventions and structures of knowledge domain. ConceptDraw Software provides number of data-base chart libraries including major 49 vector symbols. Use these DFD flowchart symbol libraries to design data-base structure and models, use it to design data base process-oriented models, or simple data-oriented models. The are special drawing tools for making data flowcharts, data process diagrams, structured analysis diagrams, and information flow diagrams.

Audit Steps

Audit Steps - The auditing process is an independent examination of data, statements, operations, records, financial or otherwise performances of an enterprise for any stated purpose. It is a complex process that includes 10 audit steps: Notification, Planning, Opening Meeting, Fieldwork, Communication, Draft Audit, Management Response, Final Meeting, Report Distribution, Feedback.

Data Flow Diagrams

The information system manages the flow of data introduced into the system. To graphically represent and document the flow of data through some information system is used a Data Flow Diagram (DFD). DFD is a way to visualize the flow of data or data processing, to clearly demonstrate what type of data or information is transferred, where they come from and where are sent. It lets to create an overview of the system, to depict the major steps, and effectively model the processes. DFDs are helpful for analyzing and modifying the business systems. Traditionally are used two notations for DFDs creation - Yourdon-Coad and Gane-Sarson. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software offers a special Data Flow Diagrams solution from Software Development area, which enables to quickly and simply create professional Data Flow Diagrams including the data storage, data flows, external entities, functional transforms, control transforms and signals. Use the offered templates, samples and extensive range of libraries to design your own Data Flow Diagrams in minutes.

What is the Accounting Cycle?

What is the accounting cycle? The accounting cycle is a sequence of steps that occur in the accounting period and include the processes of identifying, collecting, analyzing documents, recording transactions, classifying, summarizing, and reporting financial information of an organization.

Flowchart Examples

Flowchart Definition

Flowchart definition - A Flowchart is a diagram that graphically represents the structure of the system, the flow of steps in a process, algorithm, or the sequence of steps and decisions for execution a process or solution a problem. For depiction the steps there are used specific shapes and graphic symbols which are linked by lines and directional arrows. The main standard shapes are rectangle or box, rounded box, diamond, circle. A Flowchart is a convenient way to observe the follow the process from beginning to end, it lets improve the work of process, highlight the key elements and detach not essential or even excessive steps. The Flowcharts can represent different levels of detail: High-Level Flowchart, Detailed Flowchart, and Deployment or Matrix Flowchart. They are incredibly useful for programmers when developing the programs of any complexity and on any high level language. Create your own Flowcharts using the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software and powerful tools of Flowcharts solution from "Diagrams" area.

Conceptdraw symbols and signs you can use in your design for Strategic Management, Graphic Design, Planning implementation and more. You can create and view impact analysis drawings from specific design elements to examine the tasks.

Data Flow Diagram (DFD)

A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) illustrates the flow of data through an information system, visualizes how the information is handled in terms of inputs and outputs, how the data enter to system and leave it. It is effective to use a Data Flow Diagram for creation the system's overview, to show the system's scope and boundaries. There are two different types of notations for DFDs: Yourdon-Coad and Gane-Sarson, which differ in visual representations for processes, data flow, data stores, external entities, etc. Thus, for example the processes are depicted as circles in Yourdon-Coad notation and as rounded squares in Gane-Sarson notation. Gane-Sarson notation is usually used for visualization information systems and Yourdon-Coad - for system analysis and design. The Data Flow Diagrams solution included to Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park offers a lot of DFD templates, samples and examples, libraries of vector stencils for construction without efforts the DFDs according to both Gane-Sarson and Yourdon-Coad notations.
