It helps in decision making as organisation owners know that they have proper software in place and minimal customization will add value or meet the statutoy requirements. It helps to decide whether to take another INformation systeme for new requirement or not.
Easy report generation from Accounting system helps to understand the Revenue, cost and other non - contributing cost etc. PAyroll expenses, stock keeeping, stock purchase expenses, Sale projection required etc. all these matters can be analysed properly with sufficient data base at hand any time.
Differntiate between manual and customized accounting system:
