3.1 Introduction
An accounting information system (AIS) is a system that collects,
records, stores and process data to produce information for decision
makers by Romney. An accounting information system is generally a
computer-based method for tracking accounting activity in conjunction
with information technology resources. The resulting statistical reports
can be used internally by management or externally by other interested
parties including investors, creditors and tax authorities.
AIS can be a very simple paper-and-pencil based manual system, a very
complex system using the very latest in computers and information
technology, or somewhere these two extremes. Regardless of the
approach taken, the process is the same.
Characteristics of useful Information:

Relevant: Information is relevant if it reduces uncertainty decision


makers ability to make predictions, or confirms or corrects their
prior expectations.

Reliable: Information is reliable if it is free from error or bias and


accurately represents the events or activities of the organizations.

OCP on Accounting Information System of Pedrollo NK


Ltd.

12

Complete: Information is complete if it does not omit important


aspects of the underlying events or activities that it measures.

Timely: Information is timely if it is provided in time for decision


makers to make decisions.

Understandable: Information is understandable if it is presented


in a useful and intelligible format.

Verifiable: Information is verifiable if two knowledgeable people


acting independently would each produce the same information.

Accessible: Information is accessible if it is available to users


when they need it and in a format they can use.

3.2 Components of AIS


AIS cant do anythings without any its users. So the AIS and the people
who use it must still collect, enter, process, store, and report data and
information. The paper and pencil or the computer hardware and software
are merely the tools used to produce the information.
Accounting information systems are composed of six main components:

People: users who operate the systems and perform various


functions.

Procedures

and

instructions: both manual and automated,

processes involved in collecting, processing, managing and storing


the data about the organizations activities.

Data: data that is related to the organization and its business


processes

Software: application that processes the organization s data

Information

technology

infrastructure: The

actual physical

devices(computer, peripheral devices, and network communication


devices)and systems that allows the AIS to operate and perform its
functions(to

collect,

store,

process,

and

transmit

data

and

information)

Internal controls and security measures: That safeguards or


secures the data in the AIS.

3.3 How AIS can add value to an organization


As a support activity, the AIS adds value by providing accurate and
timely information so the five primary value chain activities can be
performed more effectively and efficiently. Well-designed AIS can do
this by:

Improving the quality and reducing the cost of products or

services.
Improving efficiency. Well-designed AIS can make operations more

efficiently by providing more timely information.


Sharing knowledge. A well designed AIS can make it easier to
share knowledge and expertise, perhaps thereby improving

operations and even providing a competitive advantage.


Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of its supply chain.
Improving the internal control structure. Security, control and
privacy are important issue in todays world. AIS with the proper
internal control structure can protect systems from problems such
as fraud, errors, equipment and software failures and political

disasters.
Improving decision making.

3.4 Principles of AIS


A sound accounting information system must be flexible and coat
beneficial as these are the principles of an effective AIS. Here in below
those are described briefly.

Flexibility of Accounting Information System

Flexibility means that the system should be so much flexible that it can
be changed when necessary. Flexibility helps the organization to perform
its task easily and quickly as they want
Organizational Structure should flexible for improving their
activities in different situation.

OCP on Accounting Information System of Pedrollo NK


Ltd.

14

Organizational Data structure should be very easy which will


help the employee to cope up with the system easily for the long
run success.
Data Recovery system must be simple which will help the
employee to recover the lost data or previous data.

Cost effectiveness of Accounting Information System

Cost beneficial means the benefits of information must outweigh the cost
of providing it. Cost effectiveness indicates the minimizing process of
cost which helps to maximize the profit of an organization.
Data Documentation system is the process how data are
maintained and stoke for future.
Data Storing should be less costly because it reduces the level of
profit.
Maintenance of Data Structure is the most costly activities in
every organization so they should maintain is chiefly.

Usefulness of Accounting Information System

Some time a success of a company depends on the usefulness of AIS. If


AIS provides more useful data or information with a proper way & also
in time, than it will help the organization to achieve the goal easily.
Here in below I provide some information about usefulness of AIS in
Private company sector.
Relevant data means if data reduces uncertainty decision
makers ability to make predictions, or confirms or corrects their
prior expectations as they demand.
Reliability of data means if it is free from error or bias and
accurately represents the events or activities of the organizations
Accuracy of data means if it is free from error or bias and
misrepresentation
Timely data means if it collected and provided in time for
decision makers to make decisions and for users generating
information.

3.5 Concepts of AIS among Private sector in Bangladesh

OCP on Accounting Information System of Pedrollo NK


Ltd.

15

A proper structural Accounting Information System (AIS) is so important


part of an organization. All private organization maintain separate
department for Accounting Information System (AIS). The name of their
department is FAD. For performing their activities they need the help of
Information Technology Department (IT). IT department help them by
providing computerized and technological support. FAD work centrally
for connecting all branches of organization. They maintain a distributed
information system. Every branch maintain separate server for
updating information. FAD collects that information via different
software and manually generates information as they need. But some
information is collected through Fax, Phone and Letter because of lack
of their technological opportunity. On the other hand sometime a
branch collects some information from FAD by the same way but there
are some restrictions for providing information to the user.
After collecting the information they manually generate information.
That information is in printed copy. They prepared two copy of data and
then one copy of data are send to the Audit Committee and others are
preserved for evidence. After auditing the data the audit committee
make information themselves and again sends it to the FAD division.
Then they analysis the information and publish or provide the
information to the user. By this way the FAD works and maintains all
accounting rules & regulation with help of information technology. In the
view of that it is easy to say that Accounting Information System is
totally mixed with their system and tiring to speed up their system for
achieving the success. So it can be said that they maintain their AIS in a
proper structural way within a separate department.
Some information about FAD department is given below.

Name of the department: Financial Administration Division (FAD)

Activities of the Department:


Data collection
Data maintenance
Data management
Data control

OCP on Accounting Information System of Pedrollo NK


Ltd.

16

Information generation

Strength of the Department:


Experienced employee
Stable structure
Good internal controlling syste
Maintain GAAP
Internal audit committee

Limitation of the Department:


It maintains distributed data structure which increases the
risk of data hacking and data lost.
It maintains both manually (printed) and computerized
system that why it is too costly for them.
Some time data are collected manually (through mail,
messenger etc) so false data can make error in report.
They process data manually (on hand calculative processing)
thats why it needs much time for preparing report for user.

Future Plan: Give a new technological structure, more features and


services in organizational sector.

Relation of FAD with network:


Network connects all servers within a family. They maintain a
distributed networking system where every server is connected each
other. FAD maintains a server which they use for collecting data from
several servers as they need for generating information or preparing
report for external or internal user.
Accounting to an old saying-measurement affects behavior. This
means that employees tend to focus their effort primarily on those
takes that are measured and evaluated. Budgets are financial planning
tools where performance reports should be developed on the basis of
responsibility accounting. We know that different companies used
different techniques for their internal or external reporting. Most of

OCP on Accounting Information System of Pedrollo NK


Ltd.

17

them used more than one technique. In below I describe some activities
of reporting system FAD use for them.
Internal reporting:

Daily: Most of the activities are performed as daily basis like cash
transaction, every day expanse(e.g. entertainment of client, fuel
for generator), online transaction}

Monthly: Salary sheet, equipment requisition,

Quarterly: They prepare quarterly financial report for internal


audit body.

Yearly: They prepare yearly budget report, financial report.

Performance report: In every half of the fiscal year employees


bound to provide their performance report to HR department. And
every department prepares a half yearly performance report about
their activities and provides it to governing body.

External reporting

Yearly: They prepare tax report & financial report.

Others: Some time they prepare different types of report as on


demand of client and government.

3.6 Cost effectiveness of Accounting Information System


Cost beneficial means the benefits of information must outweigh the
cost of providing it. Cost effectiveness indicates the minimizing process
of cost which helps to maximize the profit of an organization. If AIS is
more costly than it reduce profit ratio of an organization but if it
effective and efficient and need low cost to maintain than it help the
organization many way. Like it maximize the profit, reduce the time for
handling the client and generating information in low cost.

Data

documentation:

Private

organization

maintains

the

printed and computerized data documentation control system in


this regard they need to store huge data for daily activities that
are too costly for them.

OCP on Accounting Information System of Pedrollo NK


Ltd.

18

Data storing: Private organization have many branches, every


branch maintain several server of computerized data storing and

store house for printed document storing.


Maintenance of data structure: Private organization maintains
a fixed data structure which is less costly and effective for them.

5.1 Introduction
In most organizations, the accounting function is the single largest user
of IT. All systems that process financial transactions impact the
accounting function in some way. As end users, accountants must
provide a clear picture of their needs to the professionals who design
their systems. The principal cause of design errors that result in system
failure is the absence of user involvement. Standard accounting practical
