- To Empirically determine the advantages of computerized accounting system over manual accounting system
- Abstract
- In this study, the benefits of a computerized accounting system over a manual one are objectively determined with reference to the head office of African Distillers Ltd. in Harare, Zimbabwe. The purpose of the study is to evaluate and compare manual and computerized accounting systems to ascertain which is more effective and efficient in terms of data retrieval, storage, accuracy, and backup. Primary and secondary sources of information were consulted, including the internet, textbooks, journals, interviews, and surveys. Questionnaires were assessed using basic percentage computations in a variety of formats, including tables, pie charts, bar graphs, line graphs, and frequency tables. It has been discovered that although software accounting systems are more costly to run than manual accounting systems, they are more accurate, able to manage a greater volume of data, and offer data retrieval and backup. Because computerized accounting systems allow businesses to get more data and ensure accuracy in less time, it is recommended that they be used by them to increase productivity. To avoid money being lost through fraud and forgeries, managers and accountants should provide software developers with progressive information about their business activities. Theoretical and practical components of software accounting should be provided to those studying accounting as a career.
