Abstract
The research is based on accounting information systems and cash
management particularly in Uganda. A case study in Barclays Bank
Uganda Limited. The research objective was to establish the relationship
between accounting information system and cash management at
Barclays Bank Uganda Limited. The researcher investigated the problem
on the ground and the weaknesses in accounting information systems
which has played the role in increased fraud and loss of profits leading to
some companies to close. He also dealt with the impact of accounting
information systems on Barclays Bank Uganda Limited.
Investigation was also based on the types of accounting information
systems which are used in cash management. Avenues are also explored
to solve the problems in accounting information systems and cash
management with an aim of improving it.
The researcher used sampling design. Questionnaires were used as
research tools. The finding of the study indicated that some customers
have very poor access of information available right from the top
administration like audited accounts, lack of efforts to improve such
problems and lack of funds to finance such activities have affected the
accounting information system and cash management negatively.
The researcher recommended on organizations being taught on how to
operate efficiently, effectively, and use of internal control systems right
from the commencement of the business to build a strong trust within
customers. The bank should ensure that their books of accounts are
audited and cross checked regularly to avoid fraud and errors. The
central bank should provide facilities like the amount of money in
circulation to avoid inflation and penalties for those who misuse the
bank's assets in place.
Customers also should show interest and pay attention to the smooth
running of the business through putting most of their focus on the
services being provided and be willing to prosper.
