hosted locally on the desktop’s hard disk but the Cloud Accounting is the accounting system
which is performed by using a software as a platform which can be hosted remotely on the

and analyse the financial data of any company for the stakeholders of the firm. it is nothing

This mainly includes the three issues those are Learning of the system, Information loss,
Need to re – evaluate. Firstly, the accountant need to learn the process of this system which is
a tough process. Secondly, as it is a computerize system hence the chances of the data loss is
very high in this system. Lastly, in today’s changing world every business often change their
way of doing the business and to align with that this system also need a re-evaluation every

Before going to the main topic, we also need to understand the Single Touch
Payroll as the topic is totally based on it. Hence, STP is a new regulation of the ATO which
changes the time and procedure of reporting the payroll activity of the small business to the
ATO.

Though the STP, ATO made the several changes in the payroll reporting
system. Before the firms need to report one in a year but now they need to report after each
pay day. The deadlines are also revised and made the 30 September every for the firm with
less than 20 employee and 1st July for business having more than 20 employees. While the
other changes are: no more employee payment summaries and payment summary annual
reports is required.

accounting. hence, the some major reasons for this are the followings:-

Firstly, The cloud accounting is most flamboyant technological innovation of 21st
century. Secondly, this reported the fastest adaptation across the world hence, the firm need
to adopt it to be updated and competitive. Thirdly, this provide the access of the software in
the server basis and not required to be installed. Lastly, by adopting this the firm can
designed as well as test the program without having the server. There are several other

Anything which have benefits also come up with some disadvantages. The
major risk and limitation for the firm in moving from the traditional accounting to cloud
accounting system: -
The most common and major issue with this system is that the system is fully based
on the internet and require internet connection in every move. If the internet is down then the

entire system became down. Again the system is based on the internet hence the privacy and
security of the data always be concern related to it along with the threats of the cyber-attacks.
The system is flexible although it offers very limited flexibility.
