Abstract
Computerized accounting systems improve organizational efficiency and save time.
Therefore the researcher wants to investigate how the computerized accounting systems
affect the organizational performance.
The research discusses current literature showing that most businesses, except the very
smallest, now use computers to handle their accounting data. When businesses switch to
computerized accounting, they soon discover that book.keeping and accounting skills are
more important than computing ones. This is because users of many computerized
accounting systems have very little to learn in order to use them.
The study followed a case study design. A case study is a detailed examination of one
setting or a single subject, a single depository of documents or one particular event.
(Srass etal, 1990) as cited in Amin (2005). Case studies make an intensive investigation
on the complex factors that contribute to the individuality of a social unit. Quantitative
methods were used to capture data on outcomes, while qualitative methods were used to
grasp data on processes and reasons for the pa1iicular outcomes.
