Information technologies in accounting. Introductory lecture Smolyak Natalya Vyacheslavovna


The concept of ISBU At present, the basis of the management process is accounting financial condition and analysis of the dynamics of the enterprise, based on accounting information. In order to obtain the information necessary for the management of production and economic activities, an enterprise, based on modern information technologies, creates a system for automated processing of accounting information, or ISBU (Accounting Information System) Modern Information Technology allow to unify and significantly facilitate the labor-intensive process of formation of accounting information, to ensure the efficiency of the received financial statements of the enterprise for decision-making. In this regard, the ISBU is considered as a tool for managing the activities of an enterprise in a market environment. Such a system serves as a link between economic activity and decision makers (see next slide). Thus, ISBU is an automated system for processing accounting information, which collects, registers data on economic activity at the enterprise in primary documents, their processing, accumulation, formation of financial and economic indicators reports, transfer of information to users for analysis and decision making.


Management object (economic activity of the enterprise) Collection, registration in primary documents of information about the state of the managed object by accounting areas Processing, accumulation of accounting information, formation of consolidated registers. Formation financial and economic indicators, transfer of accounting information to the user. Analysis of financial and economic information, development of enterprise management in accordance with the goal. Scheme of enterprise management using ISBU. The purpose of the functioning of the enterprise ISBU Control system


Goals of creating ISBU. The main goal of the functioning of the ISBU at the enterprise is to ensure the management of the enterprise financial information to make informed decisions. Some businesses also use non-financial information. In this case, the enterprise creates an automated enterprise management system, which consists of interconnected subsystems. These subsystems provide the information needed to manage the enterprise. However, the accounting subsystem is the most important, as it plays a leading role in managing the flow of information, sending it to all departments of the enterprise, as well as to interested parties outside it. Thus, ISBU provides accounting information that reflects a complete picture of the economic activity of the enterprise.


Objectives of creating ISBU Most recently, the main users of accounting information were the authorities government controlled. Now accounting information serves as the basis for making managerial decisions both within the enterprise and outside it. First of all, it provides quantitative data for such management functions of production and commercial activities enterprises: planning, control, analysis, decision making. Planning stage: the accountant must provide a report on the expected profit and the need for cash resources. Control stage: the accountant is required to provide information on comparing actual income and costs with planned ones. Analysis stage: on the basis of accounting information, it turns out whether the goal was achieved or not, if not, then for what reasons this happened. Decision-making stage: based on the results of the analysis, decisions are made to improve the enterprise management system.


Tasks of ISBU. 1.Security automated solution the whole complex of tasks of accounting, planning, analysis of financial and economic activities, internal audit. 2. Obtaining reliable operational information about the current state of affairs at the enterprise in order to make the necessary management decisions on its basis. 3.Integration of operational, accounting, statistical accounting based on a single primary information. 4. Obtaining reliable information for feedback used in making managerial decisions. 5. Automation of processing at all stages of the technical process, starting from the stage primary accounting.


Internal users of ISBU. The main users of accounting information are the management and service managers of the enterprise. Based on this information, the company's net profit for the last reporting period, compliance of the rate of return with the expected value, the availability of financial resources, the most profitable areas of activity, the cost of production is determined. Accounting information helps managers not only understand and analyze the results, but also predict the results of the enterprise's activities when making various decisions. Thus, a modern ISBU, being a decision support system for a manager, should provide the functions of planning, accounting, control, analysis in the enterprise management system.


External users of ISBU There are external users of accounting information. These are shareholders, investors, creditors, buyers, clients, auditors and tax inspectors. It is important for shareholders and investors to know how effectively and profitably equity owners of the enterprise, whether it needs new investments or their volume should be reduced. Can the firm remain profitable in the future, and under what conditions? Lenders are interested in questions about the need for a loan, the ability of an enterprise to pay interest on a loan in a timely manner and pay off debts on time. Buyers of products are interested in the compliance of the enterprise's advertising with the actual state of affairs, the reasonableness of the price of goods, the possibility of providing warranty service. Public services are interested in the completeness and correctness of determining profits and calculating taxes, compliance with antimonopoly and currency laws.


Characteristics used to evaluate accounting information. When making decisions, it should be borne in mind that accounting information is approximate, and not absolutely accurate. In this regard, the problem of interpretation and correct use information falls on both the decision maker and the accountant. The accountant provides useful information, and the user must interpret and apply it in making decisions. For accounting information to be useful, it must be reliable and meaningful. Reliability means that the information must fully reflect the business processes at the enterprise, be easily verifiable and not reflect the interests of any particular person. The significance of accounting information lies in the fact that it should be useful in drawing up plans based on feedback and come to the user in right time. Feedback involves knowing how true previous expectations turned out to be.


Requirements for accounting information In order for accounting information to be perceived unambiguously by internal and external users, it must meet certain requirements. First, accounting information must satisfy the requirements of comparison and consistency. That is, it is impossible to use different forms and methods of accounting during the accounting period. In this case, the possibility of comparing data is lost. Second, the accounting information must be material. No time should be wasted considering insignificant factors. That is, if the accounting effort is comparable to the cost of the funds recorded, then accounting should be simplified. Third, accounting information must be conservative. Since the reflection of the facts of economic activity in accounting records is not always unambiguous, it is necessary to choose an estimate that is less optimistic. This means that you should count on the lack of profit and take into account possible losses. Fourthly, accounting information must be complete, contain the maximum of what the user needs.


ISBU design principles General principles. When designing an ISBU, it is necessary to take into account that they have both common features inherent in all systems of automated processing of economic information, and specific ones. The general principles of building and functioning of the ISBU include: The principle of the first person determines the right to make a final decision and the order of responsibility at various levels of management. The principle of a systematic approach involves, in the process of designing an ISBU, an analysis of the control object as a whole and its management system, as well as the development of common goals and criteria for the operation of the object in terms of its automation. This principle provides for a single input of information into the system and its repeated use; unity of the information base; complex software. The principle of reliability characterizes the reliability of the ISBU, which is ensured using various methods. For example, duplication of structural elements of the system or their redundancy. The principle of continuous system development requires the system to be able to expand without major organizational changes. The principle of economy is that the benefits of a new ISBU should not exceed the costs of it. The principle of compatibility assumes that the designed ISBU will take into account the organizational structure of the enterprise, as well as the interests and qualifications of people involved in accounting. They must be prepared to work in this system.


ISBU design principles Specific principles. The specific principles of the construction and functioning of the ISBU include: The principle of integration of various types of accounting (operational, accounting and statistical) based on a single primary information. At the same time, these types of accounting do not merge, since each of them performs its functions and solves its tasks. The feedback principle is one of the basic principles of any control system. However, only by solving the problems of accounting, it is possible to carry out feedback. ISBU is the only source of reliable information for feedback. It is this information that business leaders use to make decisions. In addition, ISBU is characterized by the possibility of automating the processing of accounting information in all areas of accounting, starting with the process of collecting, registering information (automation of primary accounting). At the same time, ISBUs can use, in addition to traditional forms of accounting, an automated form of accounting that fully meets the basic requirements for the use of computer technology and the principles of accounting and reporting.


ISBU structure. functional part. ISBU is a combination of various types of support, as well as specialists, and is designed to automate the processing of accounting information. The functional and supporting parts of the ISBU are distinguished. The functional part forms the content basis of the ISBU and includes a set of functional subsystems, task complexes and processing procedures that implement the functions of the control system. In the functional aspect, the ISBU should provide: performance of the necessary calculations; preparation, filling, verification and printing of primary and reporting documents; data transfer from one reporting form to another; accumulation of results, providing the possibility of accessing data and reports of past periods.


ISBU structure. functional part. The complexes of tasks of the ISBU include: 1. Accounting for labor and wages 2. Accounting material assets 3.Accounting for fixed assets 4.Accounting finished products 5. Accounting for financial and settlement operations 6. Accounting for production costs 7. Consolidated accounting and reporting. Each complex includes separate tasks, which are characterized by logically interconnected output documents obtained on the basis of a single source data. The complex contains information about qualitatively homogeneous resources of the enterprise.




Organizational support of the ISBU a set of tools and methods that provide research operating system accounting, selection and setting of accounting tasks for automation, development of organizational regulations for their solution and the functioning of the accounting apparatus. The methods include the most important materials that regulate the process of creating and operating systems: guidelines organizing and conducting a survey of an object, forming the scope of tasks, choosing software and hardware, developing project documentation, using application software packages, etc. The means necessary for the effective functioning of the ISBU include standard sets of tasks, unified sets of documents, classifiers, standard structures of control systems, hardware and software.


Organizational support of the ISBU The functioning of the ISBU should be predetermined by the quality of project documentation, a clear division of functions between technical workers and management personnel in the process of creating and operating the system, strict adherence to instructions and organizational and technical measures provided for project documentation. When organizing and building an ISBU, one should take into account following principles: The principle of a systematic approach involves the definition of the goals of the system; selection of automated functional subsystems and tasks in common system management; identification and analysis of links between subsystems; establishing the procedure for the functioning of the system, its continuous development. The principle of methodological unity requires a universal connection of management information both in terms of functional structure and levels of management. The principle of modular construction involves the logical connection of system elements in certain combinations, which provides flexibility and adaptation of systems to various conditions, resistance to changes in their structure. The principle of compatibility of system elements means the coordination of their interaction by levels and functional purpose, ensuring the information connection of various elements among themselves, the unity of the structure of hardware and software.


Organizational support of ISBU Many specialists are involved in the creation of ISBU: system engineers, economists, programmers, computer and communications engineers. According to the general theory of system engineering, the ISBU must satisfy the following general system properties: Intelligence - the active role of a person in the design and operation of systems. Modularity - the implementation of the ISBU components in the form of a set of functionally independent modules Evolutionary - the possibility of developing and using the latest information technology tools: computer technology, communications, software, etc.


Mathematical support of ISBU Mathematical support is a set of mathematical methods, models and algorithms for solving accounting problems. Mathematical methods include methods of multiobjective optimization, mathematical programming, queuing theory. A mathematical model of a real process is a set of exact (uniquely interpreted) relationships (dependencies, connections, relations) between the characteristics of this process. Mathematical modeling consists of two interrelated stages: maintaining the characteristics of the process under study and recording strict relationships between these characteristics. The system of models in the ISBU is focused on solving the functional problems of accounting by formalizing accounting and computational work, developing algorithms, on the basis of which automated accounting is implemented. Mathematical modeling allows you to describe the accounting object and carry out a complete formalization of accounting procedures and calculations at the information-logical level.


Linguistic support of ISBU Linguistic support is a set of language tools designed to formalize a natural language, build and combine information units when a person communicates with computer technology. Subsystem structure: Languages ​​for managing and manipulating information base data Language means of information retrieval systems Dialog languages ​​for special purposes Systems of terms and definitions used in the development and operation of ISBU.


Legal support of ISBU Legal support is a set of legal norms regulating legal relations that arise during the creation and operation of ISBU and the legal status of the results of its functioning. Legal regulation ensures the direction of information flows, the unification of information carriers, the directive form of management, maintains its given rhythm, provides for measures for its violation. Legal aspects functioning of the ISBU are regulated by: Laws of the Republic of Belarus “On Amendments and Additions to the Law of the Republic of Belarus “On Accounting and Reporting” (2001), “On Informatization” (1995), “On electronic document". GOSTs: GOST Software quality assessment. General provisions; RISO/IEC Information technology. Evaluation of software products. Quality characteristics and guidance on their application; RD RB Information technologies. Automated systems. Terms and Definitions. Registers of documents of the Republic of Belarus. Decrees of the Ministry of Finance.


Legal support of ISBU The main issues enshrined in regulations enterprise implementing ISBU. Order on the creation of ISBU List of participants in this process The process of creating an accounting system at different stages Contractual and financial questions acquisition of VT and its implementation Economic incentive system for the development and implementation of an accounting system Legal provisions implementation of the accounting process as a whole and its individual parts Relationships between accounting departments and other functional units, the enterprise management apparatus Regulation of the conditions and organization of work of accounting workers and personnel serving CT in the context of accounting automation Procedure for creating, processing, using and storing accounting information and its media Legal provisions use of VT and means of communication Evaluation of the effectiveness of the automated accounting system.


Information support of ISBU Information support is a set of a unified system of classification and coding of information, a unified system of documentation, a methodology for building databases. subsystem tasks. Providing complete, reliable and timely information for making management decisions Full display of the control object in the system of indicators Ensuring mutual linkage of tasks solved in various functional subsystems Minimizing the costs of organizing information processes Organizing efficient data storage and retrieval Ensuring timely receipt, processing and issuance of information to specific users Development teaching materials that ensure the functioning of the listed components


Information support of ISBU. IO structure. Out-of-machine In-machine 1. Scorecard1. Information fund (databases): input, primary, operational; normative reference; result and other files (arrays) 2. Documentation and workflow system 2. Automated databases: local, network, multi-user databases; database management systems (DBMS). 3. System of classification and coding of information


off-machine IO. Information classification and coding system. Coding is caused by the need to transfer information through communication channels, store it on external media and process it with the help of VT. Before encoding information, it is necessary to classify it. There is a unified classification and coding system for technical and economic information (GOST). Classification system - a set of rules and the result of the distribution of objects of a given set on a subset in accordance with the characteristics. Two classification methods are used: 1. Hierarchical - a classification method in which a given set is sequentially divided into subordinate subsets. Example: institute - faculty - courses - groups. 2. Faceted - a classification method in which a given set is divided into independent groupings according to various classification criteria. Example: dividing students into groups by age, gender, etc.


off-machine IO. Information classification and coding system. Coding is the formation and assignment of a code designation to an object of classification, a sign of classification and (or) a classification grouping. A code designation is a designation of an object, a sign of classification and (or) a classification grouping with a sign or a group of signs in accordance with the accepted coding method. The set of rules for designating objects of classification is called a coding system. The coding system should: - reflect complete description object - ensure the minimum length of the record - have a reserve for expanding the range - be logical in structure, easily perceived - provide the ability to automatically control errors during processing.


off-machine IO. Information classification and coding system. Encoding methods. There are four encoding methods: ordinal, serial-ordinal, serial, parallel. 1. The ordinal method is such a coding method in which the numbers of the natural series serve as code symbols. This method is recommended for small, simple, and persistent sets. Example: categories of workers, types of education, nationality, units of measurement. 2. The serial-ordinal method is a coding method in which the numbers of the natural series serve as code designations with the assignment of individual ranges (series) of these numbers to classification objects with the same characteristics. It is used for sets that are classified according to two features: the highest feature is given its own group of numbers, within which all elements of the minor feature are encoded in order. Example: coding shops, types of wages and deductions.


off-machine IO. Information classification and coding system. Encoding methods. 3. A sequential method is a coding method in which dependent classification features are sequentially indicated in the code designation. Each feature is provided with its own numbering within the entire feature. Example: class - basic and auxiliary materials; subclass - ferrous, non-ferrous metals; group for ferrous metals - cast iron, steel, etc.; subgroup for steel - round, sheet, etc.; and, finally, every metal has a grade and size. 4. A parallel method is a coding method in which the code designation of an object of classification or a classification grouping indicates independent features of the classification. Example: classification of employees of an enterprise according to such criteria as gender, age, education, marital status, etc. Advantages of sequential and parallel methods: - clear identification of each classification feature- harmony of construction - convenience in processing on a computer. Disadvantages of serial and parallel methods: - complexity and cumbersomeness.


off-machine IO. Information classification and coding system. Classifiers and their types. one system classification and coding also defines such a thing as a classifier. A classifier is a systematized set of names of objects and signs of classification and (or) classification groups and their code designations. Exists the following types classifiers: National, developed centrally and being the same for the whole country. For example, OKPDTR is a classifier of labor and natural resources, TIN - taxpayer identification number. Regional - these are republican, city, regional classifiers, which are valid for all information systems of one region. Industry - are the same for one industry and take into account the peculiarities of the organization of accounting (codes of charts of accounts, types of payments and deductions from wages, etc.) Local - used within the enterprise (combine, ministries, departments, etc.). These are classifiers structural divisions, finished products, materials and components, suppliers and customers, etc.)


off-machine IO. Documentation and workflow system The documentation system is a set of forms of documents used in the management process. The organization of accounting at the enterprise provides for the use of several unified documentation systems (UDS): primary accounting, financial (primary and reporting), cash and organizational and administrative. Example: Documents for accounting for material values: receipt order (form M-4), act of acceptance of materials (form M-7), material accounting card (form M-17), etc. According to the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus “On state regulation Accounting and Reporting of the Republic of Belarus” (2001) approved albums of unified forms of primary accounting documentation, accounting registers and their electronic versions for the relevant types of activities and sectors of the economy. Each document, including a machine document, must contain the required details: name and number of the document, date, basis and content business transaction, quantitative and qualitative characteristic operations, titles of positions, names and signatures of persons responsible for the operation.


off-machine IO. Documentation and workflow system In the case of automated processing of accounting information, data from the primary document is the main source for the formation of an in-machine information base. For the effective organization of an automated accounting system, it is necessary to develop a workflow. Document flow is the movement of documents from the moment they are created, further processed and used to being archived for storage. Automation of workflow provides for the automation of the processes of development, approval, distribution, search and archival storage of documents. V modern technologies Workflow automation uses: - document image processing systems - optical recognition systems for documents - document management systems - business process automation systems - software for workgroups.


Intramachine IO. Intramachine IO includes: - Information base on machine media. - Means of its organization and maintenance. 1. The information base includes: a database that stores reference, planning, operational and accounting information; separate unrelated arrays of input, output and intermediate data stored on machine media. 1. The means of organizing and maintaining an infobase include software tools for entering, creating and maintaining a database and other data arrays. These tools include DBMS - database management systems. DBMS is a universal software tool designed to organize and maintain logically interconnected data on a machine medium. The DBMS allows you to integrate non-duplicated data in a single database and use them for multi-purpose purposes, maintain the integrity and consistency of all data in the database, perform a one-time data entry, and protect data from failures and unauthorized access. The most common DBMS include: MS Access, FoxPro, Clipper, Paradox.


ISBU technical support Technical support is a set of technical means that ensures the effective functioning of the system. TO technical support ISBU include: Computers of various classes Information input-output devices Information storage devices Network equipment and means of communication Office equipment. Cash registers and special computer systems (POS-terminals).


ISBU technical support Requirements for technical support. Features of accounting automation impose certain restrictions and impose the following requirements on technical means: 1. A large number of accounting objects implies a large amount of constant and variable information. This requires a large amount of external memory. 2. A large number and a high level of complexity of the logical operations performed implies high requirements for the speed of the PC. 3. To register diverse and dispersed primary information, various technical means and organization of an enterprise-wide computer network are required.


ISBU software Software is a set of software tools that provide a solution to a set of tasks using CT tools. The software is divided into: 1. System and service software 2. Tool software. 3.Applied software System and service software is a set of programs for servicing devices that are part of a computer. It includes: operating system, drivers, utilities. Tool software or programming systems are tools for developing new applications, creating new software. It includes: the input language of the programming system, a translator from the input language to machine language, a library of standard programs and subroutines, a link editor, debugging tools, service (service) programs.


ISBU software Application software. Application software is a set of programs that provide an effective solution to user problems. The main concept is a package of applied programs. Application software package (APP) - a set of programs for solving a range of problems on a specific topic or subject. There are the following types of PPP: 1. General purpose 2. Method-oriented 3. Problem-oriented


ISBU software Application software. 1. RFP general purpose focused on automating a wide class of user tasks. This class includes: Word processors - programs for preparing texts. WordPad, Word, Lexicon. Table processors are programs for processing tabular data. Excel Publishing systems - programs for preparing documents of typographical quality. PageMaker, Quark Xpress. Database management systems (DBMS) - programs for processing arrays of information. Access, Foxpro. GPUs. Corel Draw, AdobePhotoshop, 3DstudioMax, Flash, etc. Dynamic presentation systems. PowerPoint. Design automation systems (CAD) - programs for drawing and designing various objects and mechanisms. Autocad. Shells of expert systems, decision support systems, etc.


ISBU software Application software. 2. Method-oriented PPP is based on the implementation of various economic and mathematical methods for solving problems: Mathematical programming (linear, dynamic, statistical); Network planning and management; Queuing Theories; Mathematical statistics. 3. Problem-oriented SPPs are aimed at solving a specific problem in a specific subject area. This is the broadest class of PPP. Among them it is necessary to allocate: Bank packages; Accounting packages; Financial management; Legal reference systems; Educational programs, etc.


Characteristics of accounting automation programs. At enterprises that make a small number of business transactions, PPP is used to keep a book of business transactions and draw up a balance sheet and financial statements. Such programs usually include tools that facilitate the maintenance of other areas of accounting: accounting for wages, materials, fixed assets, etc. Examples of such programs are the developments of the company 1C: - 1C: Accounting, 1: Enterprise, 1C: Trade and warehouses, etc., as well as the Small Business Accounting program of Infosoft, Info-Accountant, etc. At enterprises with warehouse accounting is carried out with a large volume of economic operations, control over the implementation of contracts is carried out, management accounting, financial analysis, and other work are carried out. For their automation, complex accounting systems, such as BEST-PRO, Galaktika, provide much more convenience.


Features of accounting automation programs. Programs allow you to automate all areas of accounting, can be used at any enterprise, which characterizes their versatility. Designed to work in various operating environments (DOS, Windows 98, NT, XP; OS / 2). Users are offered standard program settings, including setting up a chart of accounts, directories analytical accounting, primary documents and standard reporting forms. Accounting in programs is based on the registration of accounting entries reflecting the ongoing economic operations. The programs provide for the maintenance of synthetic and analytical accounting (in quantitative and sum terms). For the organization of analytical accounting, the use of any number of directories of objects of analytical accounting is provided. To work with primary documents, a large set of standard primary documents is provided. There is a set of ready-to-use standard forms financial statements.

The main modules of such a system are - General Ledger and Advanced Report Generator (Premier Leoger and Frx); Bank book (Bank Book); Customers (Customers); Suppliers (Suppliers); Registration of orders (Order Entry); Settlements with customers (Accounts Receivable); Warehouse (Inventory); Settlements with Suppliers (Purchase Order). The system is configured by setting the connection of each module with others, starting with the "General Ledger". This principle of construction makes the system flexible, allows you to expand its capabilities without significant processing by adding other modules, for example, accounting for fixed assets, accounting for payroll, accounting for production costs, and others.


ISBU development trends. 1. Development of international programs. 2. Orientation towards integration in relation to the automation of accounting, analysis of reporting and planning of the enterprise. 3.

Expansion of focus on network technologies.

The technology of electronic processing of tasks is a set of strictly regulated human-machine operations performed in a certain sequence, starting from the moment of creation of the primary accounting document and ending with the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The modern stage is characterized by the creation of a new computer information technology based on decentralized processing accounting tasks. Let's take a look at its highlights. The use of computers installed at the user's workplace, where the solution of tasks is performed by the accountant directly at his workplace. Formation of local and multilevel computer networks that provide integrated processing of economic tasks of various departments of an enterprise (organization, firm). A significant increase in the composition accounting calculations performed by computers. - Creation of a single distributed database of the enterprise for various departments. Possibility of machine formation of primary accounting documents, which ensures the transition to paperless technologies and reduces the complexity of operations for the collection and registration of documents. Complex solution integration accounting tasks. Possibility of organization information and reference servicing an accountant by implementing an interactive mode. New integrated technology- difficult information-but-technological and a software package designed in close relationship. The technological process is developed during the preparation of the working draft. All operations technological processes are performed on a PC sequentially at one workplace and in accordance with the structure. The basis for processing accounting tasks are different kinds information arrays. The first type is associated with the processes of collecting and registering primary documents. When using a PC, it becomes possible to form them by a machine, which automates the process of creating documents. However, the possibility of receiving on a PC and primary documents filled in manually is not ruled out. Second airborne informational software - files of variable and conditionally permanent information on machine media and in PC memory (database). Variable information files are formed on the basis of data from primary documents and are used once when solving a problem for a certain period (for example, arrays of work orders, receipt orders, outgoing cash orders, invoices, etc.). Files of semi-permanent information are created once during the implementation of the project, are used repeatedly and are periodically corrected. These include arrays of various standards, reference data, inventory cards accounting of fixed assets, personal cards of employees, etc. In the conditions of decentralized processing, when all operations technological process are carried out by an accountant at his workplace, the content of the traditionally established stages is somewhat changed technological process. The execution of all operations determines the program menu, which is displayed on the screen immediately after turning on the machine. The menu is a list of blocks (modules) of the program, where each module performs certain functions technological process, from the input of primary documents to the preparation of summary reports. As an example, let's take a look at the composition of the main menu of the Materials module. Goods of the BEMBI + program. Documents File cabinets, Reports Miscellaneous reference books technological process performed on a PC, the following stages can be distinguished: preparatory, initial and main. The preparatory stage is associated with the preparation of the program and informational bases to work. This stage acquires special significance in the initial period, when the task is introduced. The accountant enters the reference data of the enterprise into the machine, corrects the plan accounting accounts and composition standard postings. Various directories are filled in and corrected: departments, enterprises, materials, suppliers, buyers, etc. When implementing the project, balances on balance accounts are entered manually once; further they are obtained automatically. It also provides for the implementation of operations to establish the settlement period. To perform these operations, the menu blocks of the program Card files, directories and Miscellaneous are used. The initial stage is associated with the collection and registration of primary documents. As already noted, it is possible to generate documents manually or automatically. In our example, automatic generation occurs by accessing the Documents menu block. As a result, documents are generated on the receipt and consumption of materials at the warehouse. Data entry of primary documents into the machine occurs periodically, as data becomes available. The program for entering documents provides for the following functions: X compiling a register of entered documents with the assignment of their unique number, date of issue and other features; Х automatic input of reference and semi-permanent features (suppliers, price, etc.) into the document; X conversion of the entered digital information into alphabetical one; X automatic execution of postings in the journal of business transactions; X removal of incorrect documents; X control and correction of incorrect information; X printing of the primary document; X X duplication of documents. The initial stage ends with the placement of these documents in the base arrays. The main stage is the final stage of working with the program and is associated with obtaining various reporting forms. In our example, for its implementation, the Reports menu module is used, which allows you to obtain documents such as the List of inventory balances, Turnover Statement and others. In the course of the main stage, the machine obtains from the database various combined (working) arrays used for reporting. Each working array is subject to sorting by some keyword (for example, the item number of the material) and counting the total data in it. As a result, a report summary is formed, which is then issued for printing. It is also possible to perform such operations as archiving data to machine media and generating information for transfer to other workstations. For modern stage development computer processing is characterized by task integration accounting accounting provided by operations technological process. Its essence is that, processing each section accounting accounting on a separate workstation, information is generated, which is subsequently combined and used by the head module of the program to obtain a summary accounting reporting (transfer postings mode). An important element of implementation technologies processing accounting tasks is its software. On the market computer programs in Russia a wide range of options accounting programs designed for various enterprises, firms, organizations. The development of software products is carried out by numerous domestic firms, the most famous of them are L1C: Accounting, Parus, Intellect-Service, Infosoft, Hacker-Design, etc. The basis for the classification of functional packages accounting Accounting can serve their focus on small, medium or large enterprises. Many companies produce programs in two versions: local and network. It should be noted that network options are much more complicated and expensive, require the implementation of a new technologies lclient - server, special equipment and operating systems, as well as the availability of a staff of specialists to maintain the computer network. As a rule, network versions in addition to programs accounting accounting focused on computer processing management information of the entire firm or organization. Consider the characteristics of some functional packages accounting accounting. Mini-accounting packages are designed for accounting departments with a small number of employees, without a pronounced specialization of employees in specific areas of accounting. Small business programs common name Posting - General Ledger - Balance, perform mainly the functions of maintaining synthetic and simple analytical accounting. The most famous paths of this class are: L1S: Accounting, Turbo-Accountant, Folio, etc. Mini-accounting packages are easy to learn and use, designed for a non-professional user. Despite their great diversity, they usually have General characteristics. For example, automatic logging of business transactions, the availability of a chart of accounts and standard entries, the ability to generate a number of primary accounting documents, automatic compilation of a consolidated accounting reporting. Packages Integrated accounting The system is designed for small and medium businesses. The main feature of packages is their modular construction. The basis of the package, as well as for small businesses, is the Posting - General Ledger - Balance module, which has built-in modules for some areas of accounting, and detailed analytical accounting is also maintained. For example, for such areas of accounting as accounting for wages, materials, fixed assets, cash register, bank, contracts, suppliers and others, analytical accounting is carried out in an independent mode, but later they are integrated in the Posting - General Ledger - Balance, etc. compilation of a consolidated accounting reporting. These packages have grown out of lmini-accounting and are the most common. Parus, Kompekh+, Bambi+, Buhkompleks, Supermanager are recognized as the best packages of this class. Packages Complete system accounting accounting is the oldest form of existence accounting programs. The creation of certain programs for each section of accounting was historically established even before the advent of modern personal computers. Packages of this class are the most rational for medium and large enterprises and provide for the presence of a complex of local, but interconnected packages for individual sections accounting accounting, where extended analytical accounting is maintained and an interface for the exchange of information between the automated workplace of consolidated accounting and the automated workplace of individual accounting sections is provided. The composition of the complex packages is as follows: Posting - General Ledger - Balance sheet, accounting for labor and wages, accounting for fixed assets, accounting for production costs, accounting for financial settlement operations, accounting for finished products, accounting for funds, accounting financial results, analysis of the financial condition of the enterprise. The composition of the traditional complex accounting tasks can be expanded by creating new management, trading and analytical modules of the complex. In this case, it is necessary to observe the main principle - packages must be informational are interconnected, which is possible only when acquiring the entire set of programs from one company. Infosoft, Intellect-service, Micro/plus, Omega, New Atlant and Ton Soft, Nikos-Soft have shown themselves well in the development of programs of this class.

Description

  • Accounting has a complex information system, consisting of a set of accounting tasks that have internal and external links.
  • The determination of these relationships is necessary when designing complex systems for computer data processing, organized on the basis of the use of computer networks.
  • The development of accounting information support includes determining the composition of accounting indicators, the introduction of a unified documentation system, the use of classifiers
  • basis standard projects computerization of accounting is the creation of a database, reference files and other information
  • INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
  • SOFTWARE
  • ACCOUNTING

This article discusses the role of information technology in accounting. Analyzed positive sides automated accounting.

  • Accounting policy as the main standard of an economic entity
  • Legal framework and tasks of accounting for payroll settlements with personnel
  • Conceptual theoretical foundations of abc-calculation in agriculture
  • Organization of internal control of an economic entity

At present, information technologies play an important role in the life of society, largely determining the level of its development. They are used in many areas of human activity, while facilitating the performance of various tasks and operations. Information technologies have also become widespread in the economic sphere, in particular in the accounting system.

According to the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of July 27, 2006 No. 149-FZ "On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection", information technologies should be understood as processes, methods for searching, collecting, storing, processing, providing, distributing information and methods for implementing such processes and methods .

Information technologies are necessary to speed up and improve the process of using information in the implementation of many types of activities, so today it is almost impossible to imagine accounting without their use. The accounting system is actively developing and constantly improving, and this is facilitated by the following factors:

  • development of computer technology and means of communication;
  • the possibility of automating the logical operations of accounting using information technology;
  • new control system and error correction;
  • new opportunities for documenting the facts of economic life;
  • emergence of new accounting technologies.

The development and creation of an accounting information system is main task automation of management of any enterprise. The accounting system must meet a number of the following requirements:

  • the correct methodological basis for the construction of planned and accounting indicators;
  • coverage of all business processes and operations;
  • reliability, completeness, accuracy of accounting data;
  • efficiency of accounting operations;
  • efficiency of accounting organization.

The use of information technology in accounting greatly increases its efficiency. The accountant can quickly get desired results for any period of time without resorting to manual sampling. The process of grouping data also differs from manual methods in that the same information is used many times for tabulation, and this contributes to facilitating and speeding up the accounting process.

Currently, in accounting, the main means of working with information is a personal computer, and accounting automated systems are actively used. Accounting automated systems are functional software that is designed to perform computer processing of complexes accounting tasks.

In a manual accounting system, data processing usually takes place on paper media information in the form of various accounts, reports, accounting registers. Similar documents are used in the automated system, but they are presented in electronic form. In addition, there are a number of other differences between automated data processing in accounting and non-automated one.

Firstly, it can be distinguished that the use of information technology implies the uniformity of operations. This means that the same commands are used to carry out the same accounting operations, which almost eliminates the occurrence of random errors that are usually inherent in manual processing. Secondly, there is a separation of functions, assuming that the computer system can itself carry out procedures internal control, which in non-automated systems would be performed by various specialists. But at the same time, there are potential opportunities for errors and inaccuracies, because automated accounting systems are more open to unauthorized access. Another difference is that a computer system can perform some operations automatically, and they are not necessarily documented, as is done in manual accounting systems.

An important aspect of accounting automation is right choice software product. Information technology is constantly evolving, and with it comes the process of development. accounting programs, due to this, there are quite a large number of them on the market.

Currently, there is no generally accepted classification of accounting programs. In most cases, they differ in the composition of their functions. They can perform both a minimum and an extended set of operations, depending on the size of the enterprises they target. Based on this, four groups of accounting programs can be distinguished.

  1. Packages "mini-accounting". This group includes accounting programs designed for small businesses, where a small number of employees and a small amount of information.
  2. Packages "integrated accounting system". These programs are designed for small and medium-sized businesses and are developed on the basis of "mini-accounting" packages. Currently, this group is one of the most common.
  3. Packages "integrated accounting system". These programs were developed in order to carry out the processing of complex accounting tasks.
  4. Packages "corporate financial and business management systems". These systems are used to automate enterprise management functions and are represented by a complex structure of components, including the accounting subsystem.

Automation of accounting is one of the main tasks for the enterprise, as it will provide a better performance of the necessary operations and facilitate the entire process of accounting. To implement automation, you should select the necessary software products based on the tasks and available resources. However, without a qualified specialist, it is impossible to use information technology. They will be useless for the enterprise if you do not find an experienced and competent accountant. Thus, it can be concluded that today information technology plays an important role in accounting activities. They cover various aspects of accounting and have significant advantages over manual methods. Modern information technologies allow an accountant to be a sought-after and mobile specialist.
