A management information system (MIS) is a subset of the overall internal controls of a business covering the application of people, documents, technologies, and procedures by management accountants to solving business problems such as costing a product, service or a business-wide strategy.


The main issues with MIS systems have been:

  1. Scope creep (systems that take forever to complete and are never finished).
  2. Poorly designed/poorly constructed systems (developed by programmers who don’t understand business).
  3. System does not meet user needs (users did not have input into system design).
  4. System too expensive to maintain (next time, buy a better system).
