The benefits of using a computerised accounting system - P3


“Computerized accounting is carried out via computerized accounting software
and computers in the recording, analysis and storage of financial and
accounting data. With all manner of systems available today, small businesses
and anyone else can actually find the computerized accounting system that
matches their individual characteristics.” Some companies prefer carrying out
bookkeeping by hand, but it is much more efficient for larger companies to use
a computerised accounting system, as they have far too many transactions to
be able to record them with pen and paper.
