the research study, major focus and concern will be drawn towards analyzing the effectiveness
that comes with level of computerized accounting systems as used by the Deloitte Company
(Sugut, 2014). Additionally, the research study will as well contain detailed explanations of the

accounting software that are used to prepare, present and communicate accounting information
(Suleiman, 2016). Therefore, as per the stated topic of research, this chapter is mainly a

1.1 Problem Statement
The accounting practice and process plays a relatively vital role in the affairs and
operations of an entity. The nature, size or type of operations that an entity is conducting has
little or no significance towards the accounting process. Therefore, all organizations whether
profit making, non-profit organizations, large or small undertake the process of accounting
(Rumsey, 2017). The increasing demand for effective, efficient and presentation of error free
accounting records and information has overtime resulted into significant changes. The need for
more effective accounting practices and systems ahs ultimately given rise to the development of
new and technologically advanced systems of accounting. Organizations such as Deloitte have
changed and moved away from manual accounting systems to more computerized software.
However, not all business entities and organizations have been in position to embrace this new
wave of changes (Kimani, Nyang’au and Ngacho, 2018). Limiting factors such as inadequate
financial resources and the lack of skilled man power have to a certain extant made the whole
process rather very costly. On a positive note, it is clearly evident that the change and adoption
of these accounting systems has yielded positive results. However, despite the already existing
information and researched data concerning the topic of study, a lot is still required (Amviko,
2011). It is therefore due to such a basis that the researcher chose to under and in-depth
assessment of the several concerns surrounding the quality of accounting information in relation
to the new systems.

account against the computerized accounting software. From such findings and results the study
