PART 1
P1: Different types of accounting system and their essential requirements
Each business must regularly manage its accountancy and fiscal records in a sequence to
determine their true monetary sustainability. In order to do this, the financial reporting
administrator is responsible for creating fiscal reports utilising various accountancy software and
techniques. There are numerous accountancy methods, including costing system, pricing
optimization, stock administration, and others that help financial managers understand the true
state of the business. Therefore, a corporation can benefit from employing managerial
accountancy systems in the ways listed beneath:
 Productivity evaluation: Determining worker productivity by examining their realistic
output with the assistance of managers in order to enhance the abilities and understanding
of lower-skilled workers (Barr-Pulliam, 2019).
 A successful managerial administration: Via the analysis of the fiscal papers, it
provides a significant part in administering corporate operations in an appropriate and
economical approach.
 Productivity improvement: Monitoring accountancy information systems aids in
determining the productivity of every corporate operation, allowing managers to
undertake additional steps to improve productivity should any deviations be discovered.
Accountancy system kinds:
 Stock management system: This accountancy system aids managers in evaluating the
current stock level of the business such that, if a deficiency is discovered, subsequent

decisions may be made on ordering additional stock. The storekeeper must be needed to
provide pertinent details regarding total expenses, records of receipts, or even other stock
linked transactions in order for the executive of the business to be willing to determine
how much stock is necessary for the business to satisfy customer requirements and
competitive requirements.
 Job-costing methodology: With the hope of producing a lucrative item or collection of
items in the foreseeable term, employing such a method aids managers in allocating
overall costs. By using the data offered by such a mechanism, managers can identify
areas wherein costs might be offset so that more lucrative items can be produced (Bloom,
Sadun and Van Reenen, 2016).
 Pricing optimization system: This kind of accountancy framework aids Zylla
administration in understanding how clients behave when making purchases of the
corporation's goods and offerings. With the use of this a framework, managers may
determine pricing for their goods and operations to optimize client engagement and
pleasure. This would give managers the ability to teach their staff how to use costs
effectively when carrying out various company tasks such that they could finance to offer
goods to the intended consumers at rates which are competitive.
 Cost accountancy system: Employing that kind of a scheme aids Zylla administration in
calculating the overall expense involved in carrying out various company operations. The
major goal of implementing such a cost accountancy system is to lower operating costs
by making the best use of the assets that are already accessible. To do this, managers
must first project how well commercial activities will do, then decide how much to
engage in order to achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time.
P2: Various accounting reporting systems
A report is a type of documentation which is created by the administration of various
departments to present the current state of company activities so that additional activities and
decisions may be taken to produce lucrative results. Receiving data from various departments
aids Zylla's accountants supervisor in creating fiscal statements including profit & loss
statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, etc. so that an organization's genuine and
accurate fiscal status can be quickly determined. Since Zylla's shareholders are crucial to the
development and profitability of a business, it is necessary for the firm to provide fiscal data to
