Data Flow Diagram

Data Flow Diagram
Data flow diagram (DFD) is the part of the SSADM method (Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology), intended for analysis and information systems projection. Data flow diagrams are intended for graphical representation of data flows in the information system and for analysis of data processing during the structural projection. Data flow diagram often used in connection with human process and can be displayed as workflow diagram. The critical Process Flow Diagram is another flowchart technique for designing data flow in connection with organizational processes. The critical Process flow diagram may use different range of symbols than a classic workflow diagram.

Why Flowchart Important to Accounting Information System?

Payment Flowchart
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.

How to Create Flowcharts for an Accounting Information System

Accounting Information System, this is flowchart maker
Accounting information is a system of processes to represent financial and accounting data that is used by decision makers. To represent accounting processes there are special symbols which are used to create accounting flowcharts.
Flowcharts help users of Accounting Information System to understand the step sequences of accounting processes. Use ConceptDraw PRO with Accounting Flowcharts solution to document and communicate visually how accounting processes work, and how each operation is done.
"A concept map is a diagram showing the relationships among concepts, with the concepts drawn in rectangular boxes (or other shapes), which are connected with labelled lines (or arrows) that denote the relationships between concepts, such as "is a", "gives rise to", "results in", "is required by," or "contributes to". ...
The concept map can take the shape and composition of other map types. They can take the shape of the context diagram, tree diagram or venn diagram, but other shapes and compositions are also possible. ...
A concept map can be drawn with all kinds of elements:
(1) Text and lines.
(2) Blocks and arrows.
(3) Circles.
(4) Additional text.
(5) Additional listings.
(6) Additional icons.
(7) Additional Illustration (as groundplan).
(8) Additional legenda. ...
A concept map shows a number of elements, relations and/ or properties in one or more layers. ...
The relation between the elements can be pictures with specific shapes (lines, arrow)." [Concept map. Wikimedia Commons]
