Accounting information systems?

<p>I was wondering what this major is since it's offered as a major within accounting at my school. Is this a legitimately good major or is it another one of those random concentrations that nobody cares about? What kind of job opportunities does AIS offer versus pure accouting? What kind of salaries are made in this field?</p>

<p>It's definitely a legit major that Big 4 firms recruit. It should be somewhat of a cross between Accounting and MIS.</p>

<p>On KPMG's website there is a section that allows you to match your major, and it says that candidates with an AIS major would be well suited to go into:</p>

<p>BPS - CFO Advisory
Forensic
IT Advisory Services
BPS - Operations Risk Management</p>

<p>anyone else have some ideas about this? Taxguy, I was hoping you might comment since you know a lot about this</p>
