Question
Write three advantages of AIS.

Answer

A Computerised Accounting System has many advantages, as discussed below:
  1. Large Volume of Transactions: In the present-day business environment, the transactions of a business are normally large in volume. The computerised accounting system can store and process such voluminous transactions with speed and accuracy.
  2. Scalability: A computerised accounting system is scalable to handle the growing transactions.
  3. Security: The accounting data under the computerised environment is safer than the accounting data under the manual system. The data can be kept secure by using a password, i.e., allowing only authorised users to access the data.
  4. Timely Reporting: Availability of reports on time enables the management to take quick decisions, which is an important element for the success of an enterprise. A computerised accounting system makes these reports available as and when required.
  5. Lower Cost: The cost of maintaining books of account under the computerized process is lower than in the manual process.
