D1: Analayse The Circumstances Under Which A Business Would
Adopt A Computerised Accounting System Instead Of A Manual
One

In this assignment, i will analyse the circumstances under which a business would adopt a
computerised accounting system of a manual one.
Both the computerised and manual accounting systems have their pro’s and con’s. However
factors like size, type and transactions will determine whether the business would have to
adopt a computerised system over the manual method.

While some firms still do their bookkeeping by hand, most firms generally have too many
transactions to sustain a manual accounting system. The more complicated the financial
activities of your business are, the more likely it is that you'll need a computerised
accounting system to ensure effective financial reporting. computerised accounting systems
are software programs that are stored on a company's computer, network server, or
remotely accessed via the Internet.
computerised accounting systems allow you to set up income and expense accounts, such as
rental or sales income, salaries, advertising expenses, and material costs. They also can be
used to manage bank accounts, pay bills, and prepare budgets. Depending upon the
program, some accounting systems also allow you to prepare tax documents, handle payroll,
and manage project costing.
You can generally customise the software to meet the needs of your business. It's important
to make sure that your staff are trained and understand how to use the system correctly so
that your company can successfully use your accounting program.

A business would adopt computerised accounting systems instead of the manual accounting
because accounting programs carry out functions such as invoicing, dealing with payments,
paying wages and providing regular accounting reports such as trading, profit, loss accounts
and sheets.

A business may adopt computerised accounting system as the cost of using a manual one
are high and less efficient. The business can easily set up the computerised system at a lower
cost and this will cut the average costs of the business itself. Computerised accounting offers
several more benefits than manual accounting process as more information equals to
formulas verify calculated totals and errors are less common. This system allows businesses
to record business transactions accurately and also generate financial reports quickly for
management review.

The computerised software is more efficient and beneficial as it has more functions and can
perform multiple tasks at the same time. It is also streamlined and easy to use. For example,
it generates invoices, trading, profit and loss accounts and balance sheets effortlessly. On top
