| Summary: | The development of computers and computer-based information systems have presented the accounting profession with an enormous challenge and an impressive opportunity. Accounting has always been concerned with the recording and transmission of financial information. Computer-based information systems now make it possible to vastly expand the quantity and type of information recorded and transmitted. The introduction of computers into a company's business system greatly alters the accountant's organizational duties. Automating the accounting information system means the accountant no longer has to perform time consuming functions, such as recording journal entries, posting these entries to ledger accounts and preparing trial balances.
Instead, the computers are able to handle these data-processing activities on a routine basis. As a result, accountants are becoming involved in the more dynamic functions of their organizations, such as aiding management decision making and developing more effective business information systems. |
